23-and-1 Program Review: CYA Facilities
At the request of Inspector General Steve White, the Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the California Youth Authority's program for confining wards in their cells for 23 hours a day because of behavioral and psychological problems. Under the so-called 23-and-1 program, wards are confined to their cells for the entire day except for one hour for large muscle exercise under close supervision. Inspector General White ordered the review after persistent complaints from wards that they are placed under such detention for prolonged periods for unexplained and sometime poorly documented reasons. The purpose of the review is to provide the California Youth Authority management with the information needed to better manage the 23-and-1 program. The review by the Office of the Inspector General encompassed six California Youth Authority facilities: El Paso de Robles Youth Correctional Facility, Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility, Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility, Preston Youth Correctional Facility, Southern Youth Correctional Reception Center-Clinic, and N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility, which at the time of the review housed a total of 4,483 wards.
