CA moves responsibilities for state prisons to county level in effort to keep young offenders close to home
Fox News
The state of California has moved the responsibilities of state-run prisons to the county level. The move gives young offenders a higher likelihood of staying closer to home.
But will it be enough?
Advocates say the move away from a punitive approach reflects their belief that children who commit crimes are better served in settings that emphasize education, mental health care and other supportive services.
But supporters and skeptics alike say there is still plenty of uncertainty ahead.
