PTC/MIL: May 6, at 10 am in Department 3 TBJ: June 2, at 9 am De- partment to be Determined Courtroundup By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Califor- nia on Thursday resolved a long-running lawsuit over poor care at juvenile pris- ons, and both sides said conditions have greatly im- proved. An Alameda County judge approved an agree- ment between the par- ties to dismiss a 2003 law- suit against what was then called the California Youth Authority. The system was known then for imposing long pe- riods of solitary confine- ment and employees' fre- quent use of pepper spray against youthful offend- ers. California has since dra- matically reduced the popu- lation of what is now known as the Division of Juvenile Justice, from about 10,000 youth nine years ago to about 700 now. "They've come a very long way, and they've made some remarkable transfor- mations," said Sara Nor- man, an attorney with the nonprofit Prison Law Of- fice that filed the lawsuit. "We do have some con- cerns about some ongoing problems, but we are confi- dent that they have the tools they need to continue to im- prove." Corrections officials and attorneys representing juve- niles agreed in 2004 to six areas of reform, including limiting employees' use of force. The state also agreed to improve education pro- grams, dental and medical care, and the treatment of those with disabilities. The last area resolved with Thursday's dismissal involved improving men- tal health treatment and adopting policies aimed at stemming violence and de- terring future criminal be- havior. Both sides said changing employees' attitudes is the biggest hurdle. The juvenile division "has transformed itself into a national leader run by a staff that believes in reha- bilitation," California De- partment of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secre- tary Scott Kernan said in a statement. Division Director Mike Minor also hailed what he called the department's "culture shift." A court-appointed spe- cial master, Nancy Camp- bell, praised the divisions' employees and leaders in a 34-page report recom- mending dismissal of the lawsuit. But she cautioned that shifting employees' at- titudes will remain a long- term process. "Culture change is in- credibly hard," said Nor- man, adding, "I think they know that they have a ways to go."
