A 6 Tht Sioux City Journal. Ff May. January 1 0. 1 992 Iowa legislators eying juvenile crime this year cl cilities. State law prohibits youths from being jailed with adults.

A December incident in Des Moines could fuel the drive for more i.uiUii.g Wvllu. A moii.vf complained that police refused to arrest her 16-year-old son on a cocaine charge, claiming there was no room at the county juvenile hall. The youth was later shot to death, and his mother says detention would have saved his life. Rep. Gary Sherzan, D-Des Moines, has said he is considering legislation to require counties to establish juvenile detention facilities.

"The police can arrest juveniles. They can charge them. But the counties do not have facilities to hold them so they're released," said Sherzan, who will hold a public hearing Jan. 15 on the issue. Arnould said the answer might be establishment of regional juvenile detention facilities around the state.

"Crimes by young offenders have become more violent in recent years," Arnould said. "Because, of the way our juvenile laws are structured, there is no effective deterrent to juvenile crime We need to wipe Uiv fcuLLs oil meir taces with some attention-getting enforcement, supervision andpenalties." Backing up the tough talk could be difficult, given the state's projected $300 million budget deficit. State prisons are full. More criminals are being released early to make room for new inmates. Iowa Attorney General Bonnie Campbell has suggested a statewide vote on whether td build a new adult prison, and Democratic and Republican legislators have endorsed the plan.

"Many of the 'get-tough' semen cing plans being talked about are meaningless unless we have prison space to house additional criminals," Arnould said. Much of the anti-crime debate during this year's legislative session will center on finding alternatives.

Deaiouais and Republicans agree on the need to crack down on young offenders, and the result could be major changes in the state system that provides relatively minor criminal punishment for those under age 18.

"We have increasingly difficult problems with juvenile crime," House Speaker Robert Arnould, D-Davenport, said. "Right now many juvenile offenders have an arrogant attitude toward the laws of the state." While the Legislature is not likely to adopt Gov. Terry Branstad's proposed death penalty, which could be applied to some people under age 18, there is broad legislative support for jailing more juveniles and young adults. Law officers have said one problem is a lack of juvenile detention fa Earldean Hunter Earldean F. Hunter, 81, 709 W.
