AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to enactment of the juvenile
justice community facility violence prevention act
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "juvenile
justice community facility violence prevention act".
S 2. Legislative findings. According to Child Welfare Watch, a project
for the New School for Management and Urban Policy, "Family Court Judges
are sending more juvenile delinquents to non-profit run residential
treatment centers, with 813 such admissions in 2008, up from 539 in
2001." The shift to less secure, privately run residential programs
raises safety concerns for youth placed in the facilities, visitors,
staff, and the community surrounding the centers. As documented in the
Assembly Subcommittee on Workplace Safety's report, "Workplace Safety in
the New York State Juvenile Justice System," in June 2009, community
residence worker Renee Greco was murdered by a youth placed in a private
residential center by the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS)
in Lockport, New York and in January 2009 police officer Anthony DiPon-
zio was shot in the head by a youth who went AWOL from private residen-
tial community placement in Rochester, New York.
Currently, one-third of youth sent to community based programs are
subsequently redirected to OCFS residential facilities, as determined by
OCFS, either because they prove to be too dangerous for private facili-
ties to handle or because private facilities do not have the tools to
rehabilitate youth.
Implementing violence prevention programs in privately run juvenile
justice facilities would greatly benefit the community both inside and
outside the facilities. These programs would allow facility management
