(3)Boot camps shall include greater emphasis on physical conditioning, athletics, and team building than county juvenile ranches, camps, or forestry camps.
(b)It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of the Youth Authority and participating counties shall develop a comprehensive boot camp program that incorporates the relevant design features of the federal juvenile boot camp pilot project. It is also the intent of the Legislature that the comprehensive boot camp program should include diagnostic assessment, community-based aftercare, and accountability.
