"Juvenile delinquents who are sent to the California Youth Authority in the coming years will be exposed to a new correctional program that includes living in smaller groups with more staff, and receiving better education and counseling services.
The CYA has outlined in court documents its plan to replace the existing prison culture, in which inmates are sometimes locked in cages or subdued with pepper spray, with a program aimed at rehabilitation to help promote responsibility and turn around youthful offenders in the nation�s most populous state."
