A holdover is a space, usually a room, in a nonsecure public facility or a nonsecure area of a public facility with access to bathroom facilities, a phone, and meals. A voluntary attendant is assigned to each juvenile in a holdover. The report summarizes the history of Michigan's holdover network and emphasizes that jailings of youth in participating counties dropped by 74 percent after the first year of operation. Six components of the alternative services network are described: nonsecure holdovers, home detention designed for youths requiring court supervision between the preliminary hearing and formal adjudication, transportation network, secure holdovers located in adult jails, holdover and home detention worker training, and a 24-hour clearinghouse of available detention bedspace. Since 1982, jail rates have remained low at 5.4 per month. The majority have occurred in counties which are not participating in the alternative programs. The report also discusses recruiting volunteers, costs, and the community response. Map and tables.
