Inyo County California

In 2016, the Probation Department, in collaboration with Inyo County Health and Human Services, initiated Juvenile Service Redesign due to juvenile delinquency declining both locally and statewide, and the declining population housed at the Inyo County Juvenile Center.  Juvenile Service Redesign resulted in transitioning the Juvenile Center into a Special Purpose Juvenile Hall utilized for weekend commitments for youth found in violation of probation by the Court.   Staff formerly employed at the Juvenile Center were transitioned into the community as Rehabilitation Specialists, where they provide programming to early intervention youth and youth on probation.  Programming, in collaboration with Inyo County Health and Human Services and Inyo County schools,  occurs primarily in Inyo County schools and at various locations throughout Inyo County.
