DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - DOUGLAS SCHOOL SITE - PROPOSAL <br />The Department of Corrections has forwarded a request to be <br />considered in the Douglas School Site plans. D.O.C. has <br />requested the school site for use as a satellite facility for <br />youthful offenders. <br />The facility would be converted into dormitories and a vocational <br />training center which would provide a community based program of <br />work release. The program would center around developing marketable <br />skills such as horticulture and small engine repairs. <br />The D.O.C. would make improvements and alterations 'to the school <br />site which would increase the value. D.O.C. would be responsible <br />for control and upkeep of the entire facility. <br />STAFF COMMENTS <br />The D.O.C. proposal would allow the entire facility to be <br />under the control of one agency. <br />D.O.C. would accept the facility, make the necessary alterations <br />and additions, and maintain the facility as a corrections center. <br />The facility would house approximately 65-75 male youthful <br />offenders, about 25% of which would be available for community <br />agency work release. <br />This work force could substantially complement our present work <br />force as well as that of the School District and other community <br />service organizations. <br />Staff has also considered the possibility of a north county Road <br />and Bridge vehicle equipment storage area as part of the facility. <br />The D.O.C. could provide some maintenance of equipment and also <br />provide natural security of the area. <br />m <br />sm 51 Pw.10 7 <br />
