Notice to Local Youth Detention Facilities – January 2024
Beginning July 1, 2024 (pursuant to AB 505, Chapter 528, Statutes of 2023), the Office of Youth and Community Restoration (OYCR) will assume responsibility for federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) compliance monitoring programs and responsibilities*.
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) and our predecessor agencies, the Corrections Standards Authority and Board of Corrections, have been proud to serve the State of California as the Designated State Agency responsible for compliance monitoring under the federal JJDPA. It has been a pleasure and an honor to work alongside our local partners, providing guidance and support in the pursuit of maintaining and uplifting the care and treatment of juveniles in detention, and we thank you for your dedication throughout our many years of partnership.
Facility Reporters should continue submitting Annual Surveys and Reports to BSCC until July 1, 2024. Further information and updates on the transition of compliance monitoring to OYCR will be provided on this webpage as they become available.
*The transfer of federal compliance monitoring does not affect the BSCC’s responsibility to promulgate Title 15 or 24 regulations or inspect the design, construction, or operation of local adult and juvenile detention facilities.
Youthful Offenders in Local Detention Facilities
The passage of Senate Bill 823 (SB 823) and the eventual closure of the state’s youth correctional facilities mean that local detention facilities may detain youthful offenders until they reach the age of full criminal responsibility (age 18 ) and in some cases, until the age of extended juvenile jurisdiction (age 25). Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) understands that agencies may have questions about the housing of youthful offenders in local detention facilities and has provided the following resources.

Status Offenders and Federal Youth (SOFY)
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is California’s designated state agency responsible for monitoring compliance with the Federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). The JJDPA is the only federal law that focuses on improving juvenile justice systems, while shaping how states deliver juvenile justice to youth and their communities.
Among its many key components, the JJDPA establishes federal minimum standards for the protection, safety, care, and treatment of all youth who have contact with juvenile justice systems. The BSCC uses three programs to monitor compliance of the Core Requirements; SOFY, Minors in Detention and Minors in Court Holding Facilities (both found under the Youth in Adult Detention Facilities accordion). The SOFY program focuses on data collection and on-site inspection of juvenile facilities in the State of California. Program surveys, forms, helpful links and resources for SOFY are located below.

Compliance Monitoring
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is California’s designated state agency responsible for monitoring compliance with the Federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). The JJDPA is the only federal law that focuses on improving juvenile justice systems, while shaping how states deliver juvenile justice to youth and their communities.
Among its many key components, the JJDPA establishes federal minimum standards for the protection, safety, care, and treatment of all youth who have contact with juvenile justice systems. These standards are commonly known as the JJDPA’s Core Requirements; Compliance Monitoring includes the following:
- Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders (DSO)
- Separation
- Jail Removal
The BSCC uses three programs to monitor compliance of the Core Requirements; Minors in Detention, Minors in Court Holding, and Status Offenders and Federal Youth (found under the Youth in Juvenile Detention Facilities accordion). The Minors in Detention and Minors in Court Holding programs focuses on data collection and on-site inspection of every facility in the State of California that is known to staff law enforcement. Program surveys, forms, helpful links and resources are located below.

History of Camp Funding
The JPCF Program replaced the Comprehensive Youth Services Act, which provided federal dollars to county probation departments through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. TANF was in place for a short period between 1997 and 1999. Counties used these federal dollars to fund services and programs across the continuum of options, from prevention and early intervention through custody.
