[QUOTE="klmno, post: 513087, member: 3699"] And now this email was just forwarded to me by PO- it was written to him by some woman handling difficult child's case at Department of Juvenile Justice. [B][I]Based on our conversation earlier this week, we will respond to Ms. klmno's request as it appears she has some questions about the furlough process and the her son's placement in the Detention Program in general. As you know, the process for the Detention Re-Entry cases has involved their transfer from a juvenile correctional center to the detention home with the supervision and services being provided by the detention Counselor, Parole Officer, and the re-entry services Counselor. Since it appears this case is no longer being supervised under the grant program, we have been informed the services will be provided through your 294 funding (local funding) request in place of the other provider. The role of RDC in this process is to make referrals to the Institutional Classification Review Committee and the Central Classification Review Committee to request approval for furloughs or other program related off site privileges for the resident upon completion of his adjustment period and adequate progress on his assigned services while in the detention. Since Mr. klmno's son is no longer being served under the grant, we will not need to worry about the furloughs related to the program counselor but will address the request for furloughs with his mother. These may be requested after the resident has made a positive adjustment to the detention and is involved in and making progress on the services designated for him by the CSU and the service provider assigned to him. Since I have been out of the office this week in meetings and will be away next week. Please let me know via e-mail when Mr. klmno's son and his mother have begun these services, with an update on his progress so we can begin the furlough request in a timely manner. The ICRC is held on Thursday and the CCRC the following Tuesday, so we will need this information in time to prepare the referrals for the committees and for the approval process to be completed. Please let me know if this information helps to clarify things for Ms. klmno, as it appears she continues to have some questions. Upon my return on 3/12/12, we can discuss the status of the case and possibly a target timeframe for the furlough based on his status at that time. Also, let me know of any questions about this process.[/I][/B] I sent back this email so you can tell me if this one sounds attacking, too. [B][I]Thank you for responding. Who is responsible for getting us the written criteria, in measurable terms, (how long it takes, what specific steps we need to do, etc,) for completion of adjustment period and adequate progress for furloughs and release from the detention reentry? She hasn't stated that and you haven't stated that and Mr. G at the detention center said it was left up to you because XXX Juvenile Services doesn't have that criteria in place at this point. Your parole plan didn't state it and this is not to question who it's left up to, it's to see what the criteria is so we can know what we need to do and for how long in order to be compliant and start and complete the step down portion. [/I][/B] Now you ladies know how long and how often I've been asking for this. They all keep saying it's up to someone else. Based on my knowledge of how snakey PO is and the lady's reference to a conversation with PO earlier this week, it's up to him but she's trying to keep a unified front becuase that's what he always asks for- in every mtg, from every person.

Another interesting thing....they are actually housing difficult child in a nearby detention center under a Memorandum of Agreement with this jurisdiction for the fed grant.

I can't help but wonder how that will play out with the local detention and funding authorities. And does this means I am to request the furlough but it has to be after PO has said difficult child has made adequate progress? [/QUOTE]
