Title: A Looming Crisis: The Secure Detention of Youth After Arrest and Before Arraignment in Facilities Administered by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security
Summary: Because most Massachusetts police departments do not have, and lack the resources to create, separate juvenile lock-up facilities, the Commonwealth has established Alternative Lock-up Programs (ALPs), free standing juvenile detention facilities that serve multiple police departments. This report examines the conditions at the non-secure facilites operated by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security and notes the deficiencies in these facilities. The report concludes with a number of recommendations for the improvement of the program.
