The Virginia Commission on Youth Title: Study of Juvenile Offender Reentry in the Commonwealth Summary: The majority of juveniles entering Virginia’s juvenile justice system have complex needs, including mental health and substance abuse. These juveniles may have already been receiving services from multiple systems, such as child welfare, special education, mental health and juvenile justice. In Fiscal Year 2009, the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) received 85,578 intake complaints, 16,626 new probation cases and 17,202 pre-dispositional placements. During this 12-month period, 819 juveniles were committed to DJJ. Virginia spends over $120,000 per year to confine a youth in a juvenile correctional center. According to DJJ, the majority of juvenile offenders placed in confinement will eventually be released into the community; the percentage of juveniles who return to their communities is close to 100 percent. Thus, it is important to establish approaches that enhance successful community reintegration for juvenile offenders. The fundamental goal of successful community reintegration is that juveniles not reoffend as they begin building a foundation for a successful and productive future. In keeping with that goal, the Commission on Youth conducted a one-year study to examine challenges confronting the juvenile as he or she returns to the community, to identify barriers to successful reentry, and to recommend system improvements.
