75-551 APPEARANCE: GEORGE SALEEBEY-HIS CYA REPORT ENTITLED "HIDDEN CLOSE!'$"
OONCERNING JWENILE BALLS
George Saleebey, said at present he was a walnut grower from
Sacramento, but that he is a retired deputy of the California Youth
Authority. He said he wanted to make it clear that he was not present
at the eleventh hour to abstract conatruetioa of the proposed juvenile
hall for Butte County. There has been legislature introduced concerning
the buildins program far juvenile halls. Sis report deals with this matter.
The question should be answered as to why this study was made, he
said. It was made to answer three basic questions: (1) Do we retain too
many juveniles? {2) Da we really need sa much maximum securitq as we
have currently? (3} The alternatives that ought to be considered.
Report explained by Mr. Saleebey. In an effort to find the answers
to the above questions, an advisory committee was set up. Make up of the
committee members set out. They were to help decide on the critcria to
be set up as to what type child should be retained. At this time, they have
almost no criteria. They were not going to sat imrolved in the quality of
retention care given to the children in the 'ells. He explained the goals
of the study that were set up.
It was felt that common criteria should be developed to be followed
by the hall for these juveailea. The committee went around and looked
at the methods used by other sections of Che country. They used the existing
data wherever possible. The Youth Authority makes as annual inspection
of these halls; they used this data.
He stated that California retains three times as many youths as the
rest of the states. He set out the statistics. He compared California
to New York., California has 44 Juvenile 1ia11s; New York has 7 halls.
New York places the 17 and 18-year olds in jail. California retains far
more of the juveniles than other states.
Questions raised by the study set out. Changes set out to be
followed by the juvenile; halls. He suggested that a moritorium be
declared on all juvenile hail construction. This would not apply to old
juvenile hails that are out-of-date. There should be a 75Z reduction in
the census at the halls.
Alternatives to placing these juveniles in Che juvenile halls set
out; there could be a home retention plan; The juveniles could be released
to their owm home. Temporary shelter hones could be developed. Mr.3aleebey
set the recommendations of the committee making the study.
Mr. Saleebey said he was not present today to tell xutte County
what they should do. He said he wanted the Cauntp to know that there
are trends that show a drastic reduction in ceaaus for juvenile halls.
Supervisor Richter set out the statistics €or Butte County Juvenile
Hail for the month of January; there were 104 admissions that month. He
said that if the l~gislatian is passed. there would be an immediate drop
in the census at the Hall.
Supervisor Cameron said that perhaps Mr. Saleeby was not aware of
what was going on in Butte County. The run sways in Butte County are sot
placed in Juvenile He1L He said he does ant believe that there, should
be standards set that all Counties should comply with. He sai~Wthe big
thing that disturbs him is the real credibility of Che report itself;
why has the report not been acted upon.
Report sad statements presented by Mr. Saleeby discussed; no action
taken. Page 196.
