  Transitional programs are an integral step in helping juveniles succeed upon their release. Residents take part in various programs that prepare them for their return to their community. As an admission requirement, a resident has to have an approved parole address for the county in which the transitional program is located. In addition, a resident's participation in a transitional program must be mandated by the State Parole Board.
 
  The Camden Community Service Center can accommodate a total of 50 male juveniles.  
  The program provides a variety of services that help residents develop into law-abiding members of their community. Juveniles are taught skills that enable them to improve their decision-making ability and increases their self esteem.  
  The Juvenile Justice Commission is committed to providing a continuum of care that prepares juveniles to return to their community at the completion of their sentence. As juveniles demonstrate progress, they are given more responsibility. In order to complete this continuum, the Commission has designated part of this Camden site as a transitional program. A separate ten-bed unit serves paroled youth or those who are completing the final stages of their commitment.  
  This transitional setting allows juveniles to gain responsibility gradually as the prepare to return to their communities. The transition program addresses the items in each juvenile's aftercare plan and helps each young person adhere to that plan. The transition program maintains a level of flexibility allowing youth to "step-up" to a more restrictive setting or "step-down" to a less restrictive setting as necessary.
