The California Juvenile Hall Self-Inspection Training Project was
established by the Annie E Casey Foundation and the Youth Law
Center

in 1992.

Working Together, is a report on this project. The goals of the
project were to increase knowledge of applicable legal standards
and
to develop local capacity to do quality self-inspections of juvenile
facilities. The successes of the project far exceeded these goals.
It
created an unprecedented opportunity for collaboration between
children's advocates and those who work in facilities and many
countied went from the self-inspections to correction of
deficiencies.
