We recommend that the Intake Detention Control Officer (IDC) begin to provide the visiting expectations for proper attire with parents for visiting, clothing etc. at the initial phone call.

The youth on gold status still do not have equal access to the electronic items promised to them for achieving that level.

The facility does not appear to have implemented the behavior management program in the way it was intended. In speaking with youth, they do not really understand or see tangible differences in the levels or the process. This has been an ongoing issue for some time.
