GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDED FY 2005 BUDGET
1834 Youth Challenge Center/Living Center

MISSION:
The mission of the Living Center is threefold: Custer Intake Center (CIC) is the Department of Corrections' juvenile intake facility for newly adjudicated and recommitted juvenile males. The Custer Intake Center serves as an intake and assessment unit as well as an alternative, short-term sanction option for adjudicated juveniles under DOC community supervision and a temporary holdover unit for juveniles that are pending placement. A strong emphasis is placed on self-discipline and self-accountability. In addition to the multiple assessments that are conducted, the Custer Intake Center also provides counseling, physical exercise, lifeskills classes, and education to assist the youth for transition to their primary placement. The Living Center A program is designed to improve the quality of life for young men through a comprehensive approach that emphasizes counseling, education, work therapy, life skills development, substance abuse services, vocational training, transitional services, and positive role modeling for participants. Staff assist youth in developing new skills that will change their problem behaviors and help to reintegrate them back into society as successful, young adults. The Living Center B goal is to positively support and continue to build upon what the youth has learned in their primary placement program while teaching them new skills they will need to live independently and assisting their transition as responsible young adults into the community.
