South Dakota's Department of Corrections must conduct a comprehensive study of juvenile correctional and residential facilities, including visiting at least three out-of-state facilities to evaluate best practices in rehabilitation, therapeutic housing models, vocational training, mental health services, and staff-to-youth ratios. The state is providing $50,000 for this study, with findings due by September 1, 2026. This bill creates a one-time study requirement rather than changing existing law.
