Miscellaneous Resolution # 89116
BY: Ruth A. Johnson, County Commissioner-District #1
Richard G. Skarritt, County Commissioner-District #2
RE: OPPOSE PLACEMENT OF YOUTH DETENTION FACILITY IN OAKLAND COUNTY
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, there are presently several proposals to locate and develop
youth detention facilities in Oakland County, for another County's youths, who
have, for unlawful acts, been sentenced by the Court to be placed in juvenile
justice programs outside of their homes; and
WHEREAS, the residents of these proposed youth detention facilities, may
be shipped in from all over southeastern Michigan; and
WHEREAS, there is need for youths to remain near their families and
friends and familiar surroundings to maximize rehabilitation and intervention.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby supports programming which affirmatively intervenes in youthful misconduct
as being a preferential and positive alternative to the more costly incarceration
of young people, and supports the concept of rehabilitating juvenile offenders
in a residential setting in close proximity to their homes and community when
necessary, and opposes the placement of municipal or privately run youth detention
facilities in Oakland County to primarily service juveniles from other geographic
locations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent
to all Oakland County Legislators, the County's Legislative Agent, and the
Michigan Department of Social Services.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
