Ask Better Facilities For Delinquents In Wisconsin
The state youth service commission accepted requests for extra detention and study facilities for juvenile delinquents. A survey team led by Ernest E. Goransen studied Richland County and spurred appeals from five other counties and cities. The committee urged a second survey team funded in the commission budget and called for a new detention center for boys unable to participate in Waukesha School for Boys therapy. A rudimentary reception center on the boys school grounds screens youths after juvenile court commitment and will gain a superintendent, psychologist, and recreation director to expand treatment. The panel endorsed a forester camp plan and sought authorization to explore a joint conservation department effort.
