Governor seeks reform in Missouri juvenile system amid funding gap
Gov Bond backs Hope staff and Positive Peer Culture while urging a new approach to rehabilitation. A 1971 push for 3.3 million for high security facilities failed due to money shortages as the General Assembly balked at a comprehensive juvenile program. The training school at Boonville faces urban rural tensions, staff mix, and hyperaggressive youth challenges. A 72 youth St Louis area facility and Jackson County school are proposed, with regional options like transferring facilities and expanding group homes. Action hinges on the General Assembly in the 1973 session, with the governor pressed to raise juvenile services funding and program scope. The governor’s leadership may influence progress.
