The Shasta County Probation Department in cooperation with the Office of Education is showing off their new juvenile rehabilitation facility. It’s funded through grants provided by the state following the closure of state-run juvenile corrections facilities. Designed for preparing youth for adulthood and reduce recidivism, the facility includes a vocational classroom and workshop, an industrial greenhouse and other tools for hands-on career training. It’s called the “West Campus” and it’s located at 2680 Radio Lane. The community is invited to an open house Thursday morning between 7:30AM and 10AM.
