R7The Camp Kersey project for the establishment of a closed camp facility is greatly needed for housing and treatment of boys who cannot be adequately handled in the present open camps. We strongly urge that this project go forward at an early date. JUVENILE HALLS AND COURTS There are three detention facilities where juveniles are held pending dis- position of their cases. These are Central, located at 1605 Eastlake Avenue, Los Padrinos, 7285 E. Quill Drive, Downey, and San Fernando Valley, 15900 Filbert Street, Sylmar. Central and San Fernando are complete intake facilities with Juvenile Courts. Los Padrinos Hall still does not have a courts building, resulting in a great loss of time and money bussing the boys and girls to the Central Juven- ile Courts. Each hall is well staffed with excellent personnel who seem to take a great interest in the juveniles. For the short time the officers have the youths in their custody, they do an excellent job in helping them to adjust to a new life. The food is wholesome and prepared under sanitary conditions. The boys and girls help in the dining rooms in serving the meals and do a very credit- able job. We found each of the halls to be overcrowded, with as many as 50 to 100 sleeping on mattresses on the floor. RECOMMENDATIONS
