An increasing portion of county Youth Aids allocations is being spent on correctional costs. From 1992 to 1998, the daily rate counties were charged for sending youth to state-operated juvenile correctional institutions increased 42.5 percent, from $108.75 to $154.94, in response to increasing operational costs, the addition of specialized institutions, and declining juvenile populations.
Based on concerns about increases in juvenile delinquency costs, the Legislature has, in recent years, taken steps to assist counties by: 1) increasing the State's responsibility for paying juvenile delinquency costs, and 2) creating less-costly alternatives to out-of-home placements, especially juvenile correctional institutions. To date, however, these initiatives have had limited financial success for counties. We include alternatives the Legislature my wish to consider in addressing county concerns about Youth Aids funding.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by the Department of Corrections. The Department's response is Appendix III.
