Imminent closure of Stark makes some hopeful about future of youth correction

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Heman G. Stark Correctional Facility in Chino will soon shut its doors to juvenile offenders in a move to shift a system away from adult-style punishment for youthful offenders. 

Stark now houses 390 men, including 32 from Northern California, who committed serious and violent offenses as minors. It is one of the state's two most violent institutions for men ages 18 to 25 doing time for crimes as serious as rape, armed robbery and murder. Due to constant gang and racially motivated attacks, counselors there were stab-proof vests.

Stark will be the sixth of 12 California youth prisons closed since 2003, leaving the state a dramatically reduced population of 1,680. The precise closure date for Stark will be established in the coming weeks.
