This report discusses a survey of New York's correctional facilities to determine the impact of Federal funding cutbacks on participation in the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Summer Youth Employment Program.
Abstract
Results indicate that 36 facilities applied for authorization to serve as work sites for summer youth employment positions in 1987. Of that number, 14 did not secure participants after requesting authorization. The 22 facilities authorized as work sites included 6 maximum security institutions. 11 medium security prisons, and 5 minimum security facilities. A total of 57 youth participated in the program, most working in clerical or maintenance aide positions. Tabular data.
