Transitional
programs are an integral step in helping juveniles succeed
upon their release. Residents take part in various programs
that prepare them for their return to their community.
As an admission requirement, a resident has to have
an approved parole address for the county in which the
transitional program is located. In addition, a resident's
participation in a transitional program must be mandated
by the State Parole Board.

In
addition to receiving academic instruction, the students
are taught carpentry, plumbing, masonry and landscaping
by qualified teachers. As part of their vocational instruction,
students assist staff cooks in the daily preparation
of all meals and learn fundamental culinary and food
service skills. The vocational program provides students
with marketable skills and training that help them obtain
jobs upon their release. |

at the facility including painting, cleaning, buffing
floors, stocking supplies and routine upkeep. |
