C. DJR REGIONAL PLAN
The Mason County Consolidated Juvenile Services is designed
and operated with the clear understanding of the goals and
priorities of the regional plan, and specifically operates
within the Departments stated policies.
The Regional Priorities are:
1 . The provision of intensive supervision services designed
to reduce the likelihood of future offense behavior.
Priority is given to caseloads of middle offenders and
parolees whose continued offending could result in
commitment. Based on research and literature it is
recommended that caseloads be in the 20 - 30 range and that
each case received at least four personal contacts per month
(counting both youth and collateral contacts) .
The Mason County INTENSIVE SUPERVISION UNIT consists on one
full time probation counselor responsible for the planning
and supervision of high risk offenders both pre and post
institution. Each high risk offender is seen twice each
week. This is to hold him/her accountable for his/her
behavior . The counselor also must monitor court orders to
see that all provisions have been completed and submit
required reports to the department.
2. The provision of specific intervention services, ( e. g. ,
drug/alcohol , sex offender, skills training,
education/employment, family/placement, individual . group
counseling, etc. ) designed to positively impact the
identified risk factors of those youth on the intensive
supervision caseloads.
The Mason County program has developed componants within the
INTENSIVE SUPERVISION UNIT which deal specifically with the
following:
Mr Trail has been certified for the assessment of
abusers of drug/alcohol using the CSI format which is
consistent with the State. Mr . Trail applies this
testing to all clients assigned to his ISU caseload
Ms. Weaver has been very effective in providing a
community based sex offender therapy program for
those offenders adjudicated in Mason County. This
program consists of individual , group and family
counseling and involves the client in direct services
3
' ~ ~
'-
an average of 6 hours a week. Each youth alleged to
have committed a sex offense prior to adjudication is
assessed by Ms. Weaver for determination of risk and
treatment prognosis to test eligibility for community
based programming.
Ms. Weaver is during the 87-89 bienium creating a
life skills project which will include but not be
limited to refusal skills, peer relationships,
employment obtainment, hygiene etc.
Mason Youth Services provides the court with youth '
employment services which include placement and on
job support.
�
Each of the counselors of the court maintains �
liaisons with the schools in regard to their clients
which include attendence monitoring, remedial
referral and behavior modification.
3. The provision of specific intervention services
to other adjudicated offenders.
Each of the above services is avalable to all
offenders involved in court services. They are
directly applied to those clients who demonstrate
direct need and to those whose offenses are
non-related upon request. For examply Mr. Trail
provided substance assessment to nearly 80% of the
offenders adjudicated in 1986.
'
4. The provision of services (e. g. , Community
Service) intended to increase the likelihood of
successful completion of court ordered conditions. �
In addition to the afore mentioned programs provided
by the ISU the counselors meet with their clients
weekly for monitoring of court ordered provisions and
rate of completion of those terms. Also collateral
contacts with schools, mental health providers,
employers, parents, community service providers are |
continually maintained to both improve the clients �
ability to maintain and reduce the likelyhood of new �
offenses. �
5. The provision of early intervention (e. g.
Diversion) designed to reduce penetration into the
Juvenile Justice System
Mason County contracts with Mason Youth Services for
Diversion Services and intends to continue this
practice. By contracting with an outside agency two

factors become prevelent. first the diversion
services provided are non-court associated which
allows the community to deal with the minor offenders
on a social rather than legal bases. Secondly, by
maintaining contract and accountability to the
providers the court still maintains continuity within
the Juvenile Justice Continuum
