The 2020-2022 Tuolumne County Grand Jury released a report
entitled “Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility”. The summary
section of the report states the reason behind the investigation and the most
significant issues, findings, and the report’s recommendations moving forward.

The Grand Jury has determined the facility “provides an
exceptional and positive environment for detained youths through
trauma-informed services that encourage respect, responsibility, and safety.”
The on-site educational program that’s being offered through Gold Ridge
Educational Center and the Tuolumne County Superintendent of Schools is praised
for providing high-quality teaching and educational progress for youths even
with facing special education needs, personal trauma, and varying lengths of
stay in the detention facility.
