The ministry plans to replace large, in- stitutional training schools by developing a network of 'smaller and more numerous secure custody facilities in Ontario's north, southwest, and southeast regions. Some of these facilities will be new; others are already in existence but will be renovated or upgraded. In making the announcement, Mr. Sweeney said: ••In the past; secure custody' for _young offenders in the ministry's care has been provided Mainly by training schools, many at a considerable distance from the offender's home and community', 'These new regional networks further .demonstrate our commitment to conununity-based services. As the recent Speech from the Throne indicated, the government will ensure that programs and services will be made available on a decen- tralized basis - close 'at hand and easy to find." The Ministry of Cothmunity and Social' Services is responsible for providing ser- vices to young offenders Who corrunit of- fences when they are between the ages of 12 and '15 years old. Most young offenders in ministry secure custody facilities are bet- ween 14 and 17 years old. Young offenders in secure custody have been found guilty of offences under the Criminal Code ( such aS property offences and offences against the. person) or under ' federal statutes ( such as the Narcotic Con- trol Act). Most of the ministry's Custodial services are provided by open cu.ody (70 per cent). ants for offen ers � Secure custody accounts for 30 per cent of ministry custodial services. Young of- fenders in open custody are placed in one of 175 small community-based settings, such as group homes and foster homes, funded by the ministry. Young offenders may be ordered into secure custody for 'up to three years, but most have dispositions to secure custody of less than one year. • Three of the ministry's institution -type training schools - Sprucedale i Sim roe ), Brookside ( Cobourg ), and Cecil Facer (Sud- bury ) - were transferred on April 1 to the Ministry of Correctional Services. These schools provided 68, 60, and 84 spaces respectively. Eventually sotne 212 spaces will therefore' no. longer be available to young clients of the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The new networks will have significantly fewer spaces for the ministry's secure ser- vices, to reflect .the 20 per cent decline in secure care requirements for 12 to 15 year olds'since the Young Offenders Act.came in- to effect. The number of secure spaces to be made available by the Ministry of Com- munity and Sociel Services will fall from 415 to approximately 286. When 'the networks are in place, the ministry will have 17 smaller secure custody and detention facilities in.Ontari'o. Of these,, 12 will each have 20 or fewer spaces; the ministry will provide four facilitirr that can acconunodate between 22 and 30 young offenders, along with the Syl Apps facility in Oakville that has 42 spaces. Through these small facilities, the ministry expects to achieve these goals: • the emotional and social' well-being ., of young offenders, who will have regular, ac- cess to'their families. • the provision of specialized programs that will require community-based services. • links with other services for young of- fenders that are available in the same region or beyond. • maximum interaction by the young of- fender with the community, the extent to be determined on an individual basis and in- dividually monitored. • community awareness and involvement. Essential components of the original net- works will be more intensive community support services. Mr. Sweeney announced two initial pilot projects of support services. Of these, a $1.8 -million project will be based in northern Ontario, and a $1.2 -million pro- ject in southeast Ontario. "Because these secure services networks are to provide fewer spaces than our previous, more rigid, system," the minister said, "we peed to put in place intensive com- munity support services as an essential part of our province's, plan for•youth justice." • As an initial step, pilot projects for the for- thcoming. support services in southeast On- tario and northern Ontario will provide counselling and activities designed r. pre- vent young offenders from requiring secure services, and eliminate the need for their return to secure care. The community support services will: • give ongoing assessments. • supervise young people released on bail. • provide crisis in,, rvention for young of- fenders released from secure custody. • give counselling ( for example, in life -skills and employment preparation ). • provide training tor agency staff who deal with young offenders. • increase community awareness. Details of timing, locations, and the ac= quisition of suitable premises are being . worked out with the ministry's partners in the community, Mr. Sweeney said. ungan ion residents celebrate anniversaries Congratulations to Derek and Tinie I.ogtenberg on the occasion of their 30th wedding anniversary 'on June 8. .
