Special Review: Youthful Offender Program at CCI, Tehachapi

This report presents the results of a special review performed by the Office of the Inspector General of the Youthful Offender Program at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, California. The review, which was conducted at the request of Senator Gloria Romero, Chair of the Senate Select Committee on the California Correctional System, was prompted by the suicide of a 17-year-old inmate at the institution who was a participant in the Youthful Offender Program. Senator Romero requested that the Office of the Inspector General examine the operation of the Youthful Offender Program to identify any systemic problems. She also requested that the Office of the Inspector General investigate the specific circumstances surrounding the inmate's suicide. This report concerns the operation of the program and does not address the circumstances of the suicide. The results of that investigation are confidential and will be communicated in a separate letter.
