The youth in custody generally fall into these categories:

The Monterey County Juvenile Offenders Community Health Services (JOCHS) project is a collaborative re-entry and transition project designed to target youth leaving the Wellington M. Smith, Jr. Juvenile Hall in Salinas, California. Together, Monterey County Probation, Behavioral Health, Department of Social and Employment Services, and County Office of Education have developed a program to assist youth transition from Juvenile Hall back into the community, by ensuring opportunities for education and physical and mental health services. The goal is to inform about, and increase the opportunities available to young offenders, a population that is predominantly comprised of underrepresented low-income Hispanic/Latinos males, by connecting these youth with needed services for their holistic well-being.
