Dear Dr. Ledbetter:
In compLiance with the ChiLdren and Youth Act of 1963, the Division of Youth Services is submitting to you its report regarding program operations and accompLishments during fiscaL year 1988. During the past year we experienced increases in case Loads and popuLations in a number of program areas.
Court Services cases increased by 18%. RYDC admissions increased by 1D%. Attention Home referraLs increased by 31%. Commitments increased by 5% to a record high of 2,697.
Despite the high commitment rate, DYS staff were abLe to divert 61% of committed youth to aLternate pLans.
Significant increases are continuing into FY89 and are creating pressures for additionaL resources. An important first step was taken with the appropriation of one miLLion doLLars by the 1988 GeneraL AssembLy for the expansion of community aLternatives. This was an encouraging beginning in our pursuit of a compLete continuum of services for the youth we serve.
I am proud to submit these accompLishments of our dedicated staff throughout the Division.
SincereLy,
~~~.
Marjorie H. Young, Director Division of Youth Services

T he parent agency of the Division of Youth Services was created by law in the 1963 Session of the General Assembly (Act No. 55, H.B. No 5). The purpose of the act was to provide for the "protection, care, training and supervision of certain children and youth of the state and to define powers, duties and functions of the Division' the Board and the officials thereof." The title of the act was the Children and Youth Act. Organizationally, the operations of the Division are carried out by four sections: Institutional Services, Field Services, Administrative Services, and Program Support and Staff Development.

T he Georgia Juvenile Proceedings Code, as amended, provides for the taking into custody and detention of a child prior to a J uvenUe Court hearing if (1) secure detention is required to protect the person or property of others or of the child, (2) the child may abscond or be removed from the jurisdiction of the court, (3) he has no parent, guardian or custodian or other person able to provide supervision and care for them and return him to court when required, or (4) an order for his detention or shelter care has been made by the court pursuant to this Code. The Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Youth Services, through a cooperative effort with the local courts, has developed a statewide system of secure and nonsecure detention services for juveniles.

Regional Youth Developlllent Centers

R egional Youth Development Centers (RYDCs) are secure detention centers which serve most geographical areas of the state. Their purpose is the temporary, secure detention of youth who are alleged to be delinquent or who have been adjudicated delinquent and who are awaiting disposition of the court or transfer to another jurisdiction or agency. Some of the regional centers operate a short-term, structured, residential treatment program for committed youth as an alternative to a State Youth Development Center placement. All Regional Youth Development Centers provide care in a therapeutic

setting for youth who are detained. Programs at each RYDC vary, but most include remedial education, individual gUidance and counseling, indoor and outdoor recreation and arts and crafts. Many Centers have behavior management or token economy system. Each Center is required to have weekly religious services for any youth desiring them. Clothing, meals, medical and emergency dental services are a part of each Center's basic care program.
In addition to the state-operated centers, one county (Fulton) has its own detention facility. The Division contracts with Fulton for services.

Regional Youth Development Centers Trends FY 88
The 20 RYDCs admitted 12,923 youth in FY88, a 10% increase over the FY87 total of 11,795. The availability of secure and nonsecure detention resources resulted in low utilization of adult jails for juvenile offenders. Only 252 youth were reported as held in adult jails statewide in FY88. As recently as the early 1960's, an estimated 7,000 juveniles were jailed annually in Georgia. One new center, DeKalb, opened in FY 88. Claxton and Thomasville opened in FY 87.

Attention HODles

T he Attention Home Program provides an alternative to detention in a Regional Youth Development Center or jail. Attention Homes divert selected offenders from any contact with secure confinement. Attention Home bed spaces are located

throughout the state in private homes or community facilities. This program provides 24-hour emergency care for youth needing a temporary place to stay until they can return home or until a suitable placement can be made. The Division also operates a statewide

referral system for youth who reside in counties where there are no Attention Homes. The Attention Home Program and RYDCs have brought about the virtual elimination of the use of adult jails for juveniles.

Attention Homes Trends FY88
Attention Homes served 686 youths In FY88, a 31% Increase over the FY87 total of 582.

Non-Residential Prograllls

T he Court Services Program is a statewide delinquency program, established in 1963. Court Service Workers maintain a working relationship with the Juvenile Courts and the local communities. This program provides intake, probation, counseling, case management, supervision, detention planning and aftercare supervision in most counties of Georgia. In some areas intake and probation services are prOVided by county staff, or there is a shared services arrangement. Intake is the decision-making point at which a youth is either diverted from or formally processed into the juvenile justice system. During the intake process, emphasis is placed on resolving the youth's problems without court processing, especially for first time and minor offenders, including status offenders. Should a youth be adjudicated and placed under probation, the Court Service Worker,

Court Services
serving as probation officer' pursues a plan of action which assists the youth in meeting the terms of the court order. The Court Service Worker may also be involved in obtaining support services, job seeking or training, and maintaining a probationer in school. Once a youth is committed, case management services and aftercare supervision are provided to youth upon return home from a residential

program. For committed and noncommitted youth, the workers often provide individual, group or family counseling.
Court Services Trends FY88
The Court Services program served 23,094 youth in FY88, an 18% increase over the FY87 total of 19,538. The average daily caseload was 47.2 per worker.

Day Centers

D ay Centers are nonresidential, community-based alternative schools for delinquent and unruly offenders. Linkages are developed with local community resources and, in particular, with the local school system in order to increase services to youth and facilitate their reentry into the educational system. Youth referred to the Day Centers spend a short period of time (usually less than six months) acquiring the academic and social skills necessary to successfully reenter an educational setting. Life skills education in law related, health and career education are included in the curriculum. Group, individual and family counseling are focused on resolving the underlying causes of school-related problems (non-attendance, suspension, etc.) and/or law violative behavior. Recreational and cultural activities are established to promote physical fitness and appropriate leisure
time pursuits.

Day Centers provide intensive alternative educational services. A typical classroom is slwwn above.

Residential PrograDls

Youth Development Centers

S tate Youth Development Centers are residential institutions providing rehabilitation and treatment for those youth committed to the Division of Youth Services by Juvenile or Superior Courts of Georgia. All four centers provide academic, vocational, medical. counseling and religious services. These placements are for youth for whom no alternate plan is available or considered desirable. The Atlanta YDC with a capacity of 100, serves males who have been assessed as having low public risk ratings, who live within a 100 mile radius of the YDC, and whose residential support needs have been assessed as being high. The center's program calls for a good degree of cooperation and involvement with the youth's Court Service Worker and the youth's family. The Augusta YDC serves males who have been assessed as having medium public risk ratings; youth with high mental health needs; and youth who have significant prior histories or

previous YDC placements. The Augusta YDC has a capacity of 240. The educational program includes introductory vocational courses such as small engine repair, brick masonry and fast food service.
The Macon YDC serves females and has a capacity of 80. The therapeutic milieu provides individual and group counseling, academic and pre-vocational education, career education and recreation. Students who qualify are able to participate in and complete the Center's Nursing Assistance and High School programs. The Macon YDC is accredited by The American Correctional Association (ACA).
The Milledgeville YDC, with a capacity of 240, serves males who have been assessed as having a high public risk rating; a history of aggressive and/or assaultive behavior; escapees, high alcohol and drug rating; and high medical needs. Program goals include helping youth develop impulse control and appropriate decision- making skills.

Because the median age of the youth served in 16.5 years, the Center places emphasis on career education and its community (off campus) work program. The Milledgeville YDC is the most secure of the state YDCs.

Group Homes

T he Group ~ome Program IS a placement for delinquent youth who come from unstable home situations. Youth from throughout the state are referred to one of three locations: Winder, Gainesville, or Savannah. In these facilities, young men share a structured home environment. Counselors often use a group counseling method to ameliorate the effects of a poor home situation. Fort Yargo Boys' Group Home in Winder is a joint DNR/DHR project. The home is located in the park, and the residents are hired for park maintenance services. Youth at the Savannah Group Home work at the Regional Hospital operated by the Division of Mental Health. The Gainesville Group Home will initiate a work program in
FY89.

The Group Home at Fort Yargo State Park in Winder provides a variety of intensive work experiences. Director Philip Grace is shown above with two of the residents who renovated a building to be sued in a new Independent Uving component of the program.

The Wilderness Development program offers a variety of experiences (including canoeing, shown above) to enhance selfconfidence and teamwork sleWs of youth.

Wilderness Youth Development Program

T he Wilderness Youth Development Program is a short-term treatment program for youth COmmitted to the Division of Youth Services. Purchased from the private sector, this program provides an alternative to placement in

a Youth Development Center through a twentysix (26) day wilderness experience. Upon completion of the wilderness experience, youth return home or to another community placement on af-
tercare status.

Specialized Residential Services

T his program provides residential treatment services for delinquent and unruly youth who need more specialized care than the Division of Youth Services or Department of Human Resources programs currently provide. These

youth either require longterm residential placement or specialized treatment services. Services are obtained from the private sector. Many of the placements are in alcohol and drug treatment programs.

Short-Term Treatment Programs

T he Short-Term Treatment Program provides structured, residential treatment to committed youth for a short time (less than four months) in small groups within the secure Regional Youth Development Center setting. Youth served are those not in need of long-term institutionalization but not presently appropriate for a less structured commUnity-based program. Programs are located in the Athens, Claxton, Eastman and Blakely centers. They include academic experience and alcohol and drug counseling.

T he Investigations Unit has primary responsibility for locating and apprehending runaways from Youth Services I institutions and community programs. Working in cooperation with local and state law enforcement agencies, Youth Services agents and investigators respond to requests for apprehension of runaways on a 24hour basis. A computer terminal providing access to the Georgia Crime Information Center and National Crime Information Center is used to aid the unit in its investigations of runaways and in its criminal background investigations of potential Youth Services employees. The Unit also has some statewide responsibilities in the areas of security, specialized training and disaster coordination. The Interstate Compact Unit is under the supervisory structure of the Investigations Unit. The primary functions of the unit are to coordinate efforts with other states' Youth Agencies and law enforcement agencies and
18

with local units in Georgia in returning interstate runaways and in coordinating the transfer of supervision of delinquent and unruly youth who are relocated to a state other than the one in which they are adjudicated delinquent or unruly. These services are facilitated through a reciprocal legal agreement among the 50 states. Security services are prOVided at the Atlanta airport for runaway youth who are

changing planes which returning to their home states.
Investigations Unit Trends FY 88
A total of 1,087 referrals of runaways were handled in FY88 with a clearance rate of 97%. Interstate Compact served 1,621 youth.

C ommitment of a youth -to the Division is often the final disposition of the Juvenile Court when probation or other counseling services have failed to prevent a chronic or serious offender from returning the attention of the court. When a youth is committed to the Division, a treatment plan is developed which includes counseling, supervision and placement. Possible placements include admission to a Youth Services community-based or Short-Term Treatment program, admission to a Youth Development Center, referral to an outside agency, or placement in the youth's own home. The Division maintains a classification system for committed youth. The purposes of the system are to provide staff with information to (a) assist in placement decisions, (b) assist in establishing programming priorities once a placement is made, and (c) establish a method for security classification for Youth Development Center placement.

This profile provides an assessment in eight (8) areas:
Public Risk-This scale is an indication of the extent to which the youth represents a threat to the public. Offense and escape history are considered, and the scale provides gUidance in determining whether an institutional or community placement is appropriate. Youth rated at Level one are those committed for offenses such as trespassing, theft (under $500), curfew violation, possession of alcohol, runaway, and simple assault. Level two offenses include burglary, theft (over $500), auto theft, and escape. Level three offenses include aggravated assault, child molestation' vehicular homicide, and robbery. Level four offenses include aggravated sodomy, aggravated child molestation, armed robbery, rape, and murder (Designated Felony cases are level four). Level five is used for superior court commitments. Assigned levels can be increased if there is a history of escape or habitual/multiple offens-

es. FY88 COmmitment totals by level were as follows:
