2016-2018
Riverside Juvenile Hall has historically housed both the Juvenile Hall (Detention Beds) and the Youth Education and
Treatment Center (Camp Beds). Riverside YTEC has historically operated as an extension of the RJH but as its own
program. When a youth is committed to the program, he is transferred to the RYTEC unit, all policies and procedures
remain the same. This cycle, the RYTEC is being inspected as it has been in the past as housed in the RJH.
The Alan M. Crogan Youth Education and Treatment Center (AMC-YTEC) facility although completed, began transferring
youth gradually from both the Riverside YTEC and the Indio YTEC, mid-cycle in August 2017. AMC-YTEC was not fully
operational until approximately October 2017. AMC-YTEC now houses all Riverside County Youth that are committed to
the Camp Program.
This cycle, AMC-YTEC is being noted on this procedures checklist with NA notations in all areas as the facility was
technically open however was not inspected this cycle. AMC-YTEC will be inspected beginning with the 2018-2020
Inspection Cycle and have been notified that they will need to provide all areas of Title 15, as they are a separate,
standalone facility and all areas of regulation apply.

Indio Juvenile Hall has historically housed both the Juvenile Hall (Detention Beds) and the Youth Education and Treatment
Center (Camp Beds). Indio YTEC has historically operated as an extension of the IJH but as its own program. When a youth is
committed to the program, he is transferred to the IYTEC unit, all policies and procedures remain the same. This cycle, the
IYTEC is being inspected as it has been in the past as housed in the IJH.
The Alan M. Crogan Youth Education and Treatment Center (AMC-YTEC) facility although completed, began transferring youth
from both the Indio YTEC and the Riverside YTEC, mid-cycle in August 2017. They were not fully operational until
approximately October 2017. AMC-YTEC now houses all Riverside County Youth that are committed to the Camp Program.
This cycle, AMC-YTEC is being noted on this procedures checklist with NA notations in all areas as the facility was technically
open however was not inspected as a fully functioning facility. AMC-YTEC will be inspected beginning with the 2018-2020
Inspection Cycle and have been notified that they will need to provide all areas of Title 15, as they are a separate, standalone
facility and all areas of regulation apply.

Average population in the JH (both male and female)
has been 23 youth. Females may be booked at Indio

Despite the vacancies, all documentation reviewed for
both facilities shows that minimum staffing ratios were

separation of youth for reasons that include, but are not
limited to, medical and mental health conditions, 945.4.1 Administrative Separation
assaultive behavior, disciplinary consequences and 945.4.1(a) Separation of adult and minor youth
protective custody. 945.4.1(b) Medical /Mental health
945.4.1(c) Protective Custody
945.5 Discipline Separation
Youth are only separated if needed to provide for
health, safety and security. Youth can request self-
N
Y Y separation for limited time periods. All separations
A
must be documented and approved and are overseen
by facility supervisors. Staff follow up on the request
after a certain amount of time and the youth is
encouraged to return to the program. Documentation
showed that most requests, were due to youth wanting
to sleep, brief time outs or they were just in bad moods
and didn’t want to participate or be in the group setting.
By allowing the youth to self-separate, provided them
the opportunity to own their behavior, a chance to
control it before they get out of hand or to make their
own decisions about what they needed. The majority of
the youth return right back into the program.
