The Virginia Commission on
Juvenile Delinquency today SUBJ
mitted a report to Gov. Stanley
Recommending that the State
pay one-third Of the cost Of
constructing regional detention
homes.
The proposal would mean that
Virginia would contribute about
$50, 900 toward construction of
an institution now being studied
for the Arlington Alexandria
Fairfax-Falls Church area.
The report Of the commission,
headed by Delegate Kathryn
H. Stone of Arlington. viii be
submitted to the 1856 General
Assembly. along with six bills to

that something over $4,000 chill

5000 Jailed Annually
Despite the fact that a State law
prohibits keeping children under
II years Of age in Jail, the COM
mission found: about 5000
children (around ITS to 200 Of
them under IA years Of age) are
jailed annually. most Of them
because suitable detention IA
!cilities do not exist"
In the last 10 years, about
10000 children have been in
various jails in the State, of
which approximately 1900 were
under II years Of age.
only eight local detention
facilities exist in the State at the
present time, "the report says" "
although some Of these contract
with nearby jurisdictions to per-
NIT use Of the facilities. A CO.
operative detention facility Is
being developed in Northern
Virginia among the cities Of
Alexandra and Falls Church and
Arlington and Fairfax Counties. :"
AS to causes of the problem.
the commission says 1.-THE most
universally recognized cause is
undoubtedly an unsatisfactory
family situation. but such a situ-

which are bathing and discour-

Among the recommendations

One is designed to eliminate

Another would allow juvenile
courts TO exercise the option Of

such cases to courts Of record.
The last bill would clarity Ian
