2022 Judicial Education Course Catalog

AUGUST THURSDAY, AUGUST 11 What You See is What They Get: Boys’ Juvenile Facility Tour OFF-SITE / Victor Cullen Center | Sabillasville, MD 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. What are the Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) facilities that house, educate, and treat youth committed under CJP Title 3-8A like? Who are the youth placed there? And, maybe most importantly, which youth are best served by what type of facility? This program will tackle those questions and more, through a tour of a facility. Then, in the “let’s discuss” portion of the program, DJS and facility staff will address the process from referral and placement, through home passes and reentry. All questions and topics will be welcome for discussion. Coordinators: Sarah R. Kaplan, Esq.; Abigail Hill, Esq. Faculty: Betsy Fox Tolentino, Assistant Secretary of Community Operations, DJS, and James Johnston, Director of Legislation and Policy, DJS, and other facility and DJS staff
