California maintains two sets of secure juvenile facilities: a state-run youth correctional system, the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), and 112 juvenile halls, camps, and ranches operated by county probation departments. Despite sustained declines in serious juvenile arrests and a reduction in commitments to the state, DJJ has not closed a facility since 2011 and continues to operate a fire camp and three large institutions at an annual cost of nearly $200 million (CDCR, 2018; CJCJ, 2018). Declines in DJJ's population and unprecedented capacity in county juvenile facilities would allow for the phased realignment of confined youth from the aging state system to more modern local facilities, generating savings, bringing high-needs young people closer to home, and curbing the trauma and violence endemic to DJJ (CJCJ, 2012; 2016).
