Description
Before: ENGEL, MERRITT and JONES, Circuit Judges. JONES, Circuit Judge This appeal is based on a class action filed on behalf of all present and future youth offenders who have been or will be confined at the Federal Correction Institute at Milan, Michigan (FCI) pursuant to the Federal Youth Corrections Act (YCA), 18 U.S.C. §§ 5005-5026 (repealed October 12, 1984, Crime Control Act, § 218(a)(8), 98 Stat. 2027).1 The parties have raised four issues on appeal. First, the plaintiffs argue that the Parole Commission's use of convictions that have been ""set aside"" under the YCA violates 18 U.S.C. § 5021. Second, the plaintiffs contend that the Commission may not extend a YCA offender's period of carceration by penalizing youthfulness in the calculation of salient factor scores. Third, the plaintiffs assert that the mere designation of three facilities as institutions to house exclusively YCA offenders does not satisfy the YCA's requirement that offenders be provided individualized treatment in a variety of settings. The defendants, in their cross-appeal, raise the issue of whether the YCA requires the Commission to give greater attention to a YCA offender's performance in treatment programs than it gives to the performance of adult offenders.
