March 2008
 Maryland Juvenile Justice Monitoring Unit Quarterly Report for
January-March 2008
Maryland's Juvenile Justice Monitoring Unit (JJMU) Quarterly Report for
January-March, 2008 addresses concerns about inadequacies in the DJS
residential facilities. It highlights worsening physical conditions and
levels of violence at some facilities as well as many staff members who
have not completed minimum training. The report noted challenges the
Victor Cullen facility is having in fully staffing and implementing
treatment programs. Youth report that they leave the center without job
skills or clarity about their futures. The JJMU did, however, find that
many of the new facilities have dedicated staff and provide more
comfortable housing. Youth in these facilities report feeling more loved
and participated in numerous programs.
