The California Youth Authority, through a number of offices and different programs across the state, is designed to help divert young people from the criminal paths they have started on. This paper examines the programs offered at the CYA?s Norwalk facility after first giving a brief overall look at the programs offered by the CYA and the history of the way in which young criminals have been thought about and treated by the state of California.
From the Paper:
"California Youth Authority facilities are designed to provide essential services to each youthful offender through three components -- Daily Living Skills, Counseling, and Academic/Vocational/Work Experience. The CYA Education Program operates 12 months a year, enabling a student who has fallen behind academically the opportunity to catch up. A wide variety of vocational programs and work assignments are available to teach relevant skills that are transferable to community employment. These work assignments also provide an emphasis on improvement of attitude and behaviors that have previously impeded employment success (http://www.cya.ca.gov/)."
