208/Maryland Manual

The Juvenile Services Administration certifies
for operation within the State the public and pri-
vate institutions, organizations, and agencies that
deal with the Department in the area of juvenile
delinquency.

The Administration supervises two State train-
ing schools. It develops and promulgates regula-
tions, standards of care, and policies affecting the
operation and management of programs serving

children in these schools.

The Administration also supervises the State's
four Youth Centers for delinquent boys. These
Centers were formerly known as Forestry Camps.
Boys who could benefit from such care are trans-
ferred to the Centers from Boys' Village,
Montrose School, and the Maryland Training
School for Boys, and through direct commitment
from various State courts and jurisdictions.

The Administration supervises intake, proba-
tion, and after-care post-institutional supervision
and counseling staff to all juvenile courts. Proba-
tion and after-care are separate functions. Proba-
tion involves the supervision of youngsters who
are adjudicated delinquent but not institutional-
ized. After-care includes the supervision and
counseling of youngsters for a prescribed period
of time after their release from an institution
(Code Health-General Article, Title 6).
