Purpose:<br />
To demonstrate that jurisdictions can establish more<br />
effective and efficient systems to accomplish the<br />
purposes of juvenile detention.<br />
Objectives:<br />
1) Eliminate inappropriate or unnecessary use of secure<br />
detention<br />
2) Minimize failures to appear and incidence of delinquent<br />
behavior<br />
3) Redirect public finances to successful reform strategies<br />
4) Improve conditions in secure detention facilities.
