Introduction
The Correctional Institution Inspection Committee (CIIC) staff met with Department of
Youth Services (DYS) Central Office staff on March 17, 2005 prior to the April 2005
effective date of the new CIIC responsibilities regarding juvenile correctional institutions.
Monthly data on specific areas was requested that would enable CIIC to monitor and
evaluate operations, conditions, programs and the grievance procedure. However, due to
the reported lack of system-wide standardizatio n in data gathering and reporting,
Committee staff received data limited to youth population, mental health caseload, and
grievance summaries. Additional data was provided on a one-time basis in response to a
request for Incident Summary Data that each facility provides to the American
Correctional Association at the time of an audit. The data pertained to differing time
periods from institution to institution. Further, urine drug test data was provided on one
occasion.
Committee staff were subsequently advised that on August 8, 2005, a DYS committee
was formed to look at the data process relevant to establishing a uniform system- wide
database on the number of incidents in DYS facilities. In the communication from the
DYS Director on the subject, it was reported that there were too many points of entry, too
much room for interpretation and no standards for quality assurance.
On May 16, 2006, in follow-up to the prior Correctional Institution Inspection Committee
meeting on May 10, 2006, further inquiry was made on the status of the prior request for
additional DYS data. Data was requested on use of force including information on
injuries, youth on youth, and youth on staff assaults, seclusion rooms and program
participation. The information was requested for 2006 to date on these subjects, with
monthly reports thereafter.
In response to the request, CIIC staff were advised that until a new computerized data
management system can be put into place, the Superintendents have been manually
reporting data on a monthly basis on assaults, injuries and seclusion. However, the data is
reported to be reliable. Such data for January through March 2006 was subsequently
provided on May 24, 2006, and assurance was provided that it would be submitted on a
monthly basis in the future. It was further relayed that DYS staff are in the process of
putting the data in a useable, readable format.
The following tables were prepared from the data provided by DYS on the three- month
period.
