Youth Offender Program Camp Pilot Program.
- Makes permanent a pilot program allowing young offenders ages 18-25 to participate in conservation camp programs.
- Authorizes expansion of the program to additional California Conservation Camps across the state.
- Enables youth offenders to receive wildland firefighting training while working toward rehabilitation.
Assembly Member Elhawary's legislation to permanently establish the Youth Offender Program Camp, which provides conservation and wildland firefighting training to incarcerated individuals aged 18-25, builds upon pilot programs launched at two California facilities in 2023 and 2024.
The bill directs the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to transition the existing pilot program into a permanent initiative while authorizing potential expansion to additional California Conservation Camps. Under current operations at Growlersburg Conservation Camp #33 and Pine Grove Youth Conservation Camp #12, the program accepts youth with Level III classification scores or Violent Administrative Determinants on a case-by-case basis.
The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation would maintain discretion over which conservation camps participate in any program expansion. The legislation requires no new appropriations, though it remains subject to fiscal committee review. Implementation would take effect upon enactment, with the Department responsible for formalizing the program's permanent status and evaluating opportunities for growth across the state's conservation camp system.
