...Commissioner of the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Your upcoming retreat provides an excellent opportunity to relate the current realities to your staff: ⋅ Contradictions between mission and practice point to weak leadership rooted in an inflexible institutional structure. ⋅ Uncoordinated work and lack of accountability is clear in the disconnection and distrust between agency divisions. ⋅ Field employees feel undervalued by and disengaged from the central administration as shown in their justification of on-the-job rebellions. ⋅ Counselors lack the ability and direction to provide consistent and necessary services to their two distinct populations...

...of three key questions: 1. "What do we do?" 2. "For whom do we do it?" 3. "How do we excel?"(Armstrong, 1986) In many organizations, this is viewed as a process for determining where an organization is going over the next year or more typically 3 to 5 years (long term), although some extend their vision to 20 years. Strategic planning is designed to help public and non-profit organizations (and communities) respond effectively to their new situations. It is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions shaping the nature and direction of an organization’s (or other entity’s) activities within legal bounds (Bryson, 1988). Without strategic planning and a resulting plan of action, the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) will not have a clear idea of what it is doing, why it is doing it, and where it is going. If there are no goals and objectives in place to address stakeholder issues/concerns, improve programs/services, or grow the organization, it may not be able to continue meeting the needs of the very people (juveniles) it is supposed to serve. In addition, the lack of a plan could compromise public trust, result in a loss of funding, or prevent the...

...only does the job have to consider what is in the best interest of the child but it also has to satisfy the child’s parents. Therefore choosing the right individuals to fulfill the dynamic roles within this public service is vital. The South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is an agency dedicated to assisting at risk youth with correcting negative behaviors so that they can one day become more responsible members of the community. In order for this agency to accomplish this goal they have to seek resources from many different avenues. Moreover, they have to assure that the quality of life for the housed youth are humane. This is done through proper care, continuous education, and providing the right rehabilitative services possible to name a few. This means drawing in a wide range of candidates to fill positions. DJJ has a very precise hiring process and requires 100 percent of its employees to pass criminal background checks along with history of child abuse examinations. This is to ensure that those working with the agency can provide a safe environment across the board. Furthermore, DJJ takes pride in its ability to generate funding in many different ways. Another important facet of DJJ is its use of...

...Juvenile Justice (DJJ) From: Lei Liu, Consultant Subject: Recommendations for a New Mission Statement Date: January 27, 2013 Recommendations To draft the new mission statement, I suggest following the process: * Review the New York City Charter for DJJ The Charter provides the major duties that DJJ must fulfill.

According to the Charter, DJJ could either...

...and what recommendation I believe should happen. Overview The Internet Article that I have chosen is from the Virginia's Department of Juvenile Justice. In this article, the Director of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Mr. Andrew Block has proposed a $66 million plan to the Virginia legislators in the hope of building two new detention facilities that will focus more on rehabilitation, counseling, and various services. Mr. Block told legislative budget writers Monday that the new facilities that he plans to build will probably pay for themselves. Shortly, Mr. Block also stated that his $200 million operating budget will spare new annual cut which will help return shift resources to rebuild prevention and treatment program that has had substantial cut over the last ten years. In spite of some pushback from the legislative committee the vice chairman of the committee, Mr. Steve Landes admitted the plans sounded doable. Into furthermore better his case Mr. Brock bought statistic that showed why the DJJ wants to focus more on rehabilitation instead of the “Old sprawling and expensive” way like Bon Air and Beaumont detention center. According to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), the statistic stated 59 percent of the children the States locks up reports physical abuse, 58 percent parent criminal activity, 46 percent parent incarceration and 31 percent parent substance abuse (Daily Press 2015). ...

...The Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is an agency in a state of change with many pressing issues in need of solutions. The Spofford Secure Detention Center is a major priority of the DJJ, however, the problems facing this facility are too large in magnitude to sufficiently solve in the next six months. You and Ms. Feely have already made great strides in addressing some of the needs of the Spofford facility. As you continue these efforts, I advise you to shift your focus to the Non-Secure Detention (NSD) program. You recently learned that the NSD program does not keep records on its clients. I believe the lack of client records poses a serious legal liability for the DJJ. Should a client cause harm to themselves or others while housed...

...At risk children in after school programs. In the report you will learn about what amount of at risk children attend after school programs, we will also find out what percentage of these children are part of the DJJ program( Department of Juvenile Justice ). A large portion of elementary and middle school kids attend after school programs, some for the simple reason that most of these children come from single parent homes. What I’m trying to learn is from this study is what do these programs offer, and how do the parents select the program suitable for their children. Do they like the programs these programs offer, do these programs offer tutoring for grade school child, or are they not concern with the program its just a a safe place where their children can be til they get off from work. Some of these programs are state funded, some are grant funded, other are non – profit like the Boys and Girls Clubs. The Department of Juvenile Justice, largely because the may be to keep kids of trouble and off the street. About 10 percent of the kids in have had some sort of run in with the law. Most of the children in these programs would come to no parent (s) if they not in these clubs. We all know that any child that is bore will most likely get into trouble. The population I’m most interest in is the children of single parent homes, what effect does this have on child’s motivation to learn, their study habits and the overall being....

...How would you define prison environment? Prison environment is cramped and confined and a dangerous environment. There are many inmate customs, etiquette or rules to abide by, or a convicted individual may be subjected to physical harm or death. The most obvious characteristic of the prison environment is the absence of privacy. The absence of privacy is a deliberate punishment, lavatories are within the individual cells are within three feet of the individual’s cellmate. It is difficult if not impossible for an inmate to be completely alone during incarceration, there are only three places an inmate can be at any time, his or her cell, the common housing area, or on the yard (Foster, 2006). How does prison environment influence institutional management and custody? There are many cliques in the prison environment generally separated by race or gang affiliation. These cliques influence the institutional management and custody in a variety of ways. General management and daily interaction of inmates must be respectful and sensitive to the race factor. Strategies were developed to combat prison gangs, these strategies include; segregation, isolation of gang leaders, jacketing or labeling and categorizing gang members for intelligence purposes, deprogramming, and placement of gang members in high-security prisons. Special corrections officer response teams were formed to manage inmates. These teams are known as Special Operations Response Team or SORT teams (Foster, 2006)...

...Restorative Justice and Juvenile Courts Denise Gladden CRJS-450-1402A-01: Advanced Topics in Corrections April 12, 2014 Abstract This paper provides a brief overview of two different juvenile programs, aftercare and institutions. It provides contrasting differences between the treatment received by juveniles in housed institutions and community aftercare programs, and there effects on recidivism. The effectiveness or ineffectiveness of both programs, in treating and rehabilitating juvenile delinquents is also discussed. Restorative Justice and Juvenile Courts Restorative justice refers to repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behavior. This is best accomplished through a cooperative process which includes all stakeholders (Restorative Justice, n.d.). The Intensive Aftercare Program is an intensive community-based research, and seeks to reduce recidivism among high-risk parolees by better preparing them for release back into the community. This program model is data driven research that show that a highly structured and enhanced transition from incarceration to the community can be beneficial to the parolees in areas of family and peer relations, education, jobs, substance abuse, mental health and recidivism without having a negative impact on the community. A valuable component of the Colorado’s Intensive Aftercare Program is the requirement that both surveillance and treatment services be provided. It has been determined to be relevant to success...

...staying to himself and to not interacting with the other residents. It was conveyed to Kevin that when he gets upset or needs to process his anger that residents are encouraged to talk to staff or this writer for help. Kevin expressed that he would possibility have some issue with following this suggestion out of worry of being perceived as a “snitch”. If Kevin is given the opportunity as determined by the court, he must understand this behavior will not be tolerated and the consequences associated, leading up to and including removal from the program where warranted. Kevin stated that he plans to avoid fighting and to fully participate if afforded the opportunity to participate in the program because he does not want to be committed to DJJ. Furthermore, Kevin expressed that Post-D could help him learn how to “think before he acts” and “stay out of trouble”. As reflected in the attached clinical assessment, there are concerns with Kevin about acceptance to do the program as required and taking responsibility for his behavior. It will be important for Kevin to understand the commitment necessary to complete Post-D and the consequences if he is not willing to do the program as required In summary, the Post D program could aid Kevin in confronting his problem behavior (i.e., MRT, Staying Quit, and other program activities) and the impacts of his negative behavior is having on his life. If Kevin is afforded the opportunity by the court to participate in the Post-D program, we...
