Seek funding from the Placer County Executive office to address the fencing security and staffing issues relating to the use of the grassy outdoor area.

No recommendations for this finding
F4
The JDF Staff appear to run a good program for detainees who are there for a short time (i.e., days to weeks). However, certain aspects of the program, namely the repetition of class offerings and limited access to the grass field could be detrimental to detainees held for a longer period of time (i.e., months to years).
