SECTION 1250-1258

confinement of males under the custody of the Director of Corrections
and the Youth Authority to be known as the Heman G. Stark Youth
Training School.

1251. The Heman G. Stark Youth Training School shall be an
intermediate security type institution. Its primary purpose shall be
to provide custody, care, industrial, vocational and other training,
guidance and reformatory help for young men, too mature to be
benefited by the programs of correctional schools for juveniles and
too immature in crime for confinement in prisons.

1252. There may be transferred to and confined in the Heman G.
Stark Youth Training School any male subject to the custody, control
and discipline of the Youth Authority, whom the Youth Authority
believes will be benefited by confinement in such an institution.
Whenever by reason of any law governing the commitment of a person to
the Youth Authority or to an institution under the jurisdiction of
the Youth Authority such a person is deemed not to be a person
convicted of a crime, the transfer or placement of such a person in
the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School shall not affect the status
or rights of the person and shall not be deemed to constitute a
conviction of a crime.

1253. The Youth Authority shall make rules and regulations for the
government of the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School and the
management of its affairs.

1254. The Youth Authority shall appoint, subject to civil service,
a superintendent for the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School, and
such officers and employees as may be necessary, and shall fix their
compensation.

1255. The Youth Authority shall construct and equip, in accordance
with law, suitable buildings, structures, and facilities for the
Heman G. Stark Youth Training School.

1256. The Youth Authority shall have the same powers, duties, and
responsibilities in respect to the Heman G. Stark Youth Training
School and the persons confined therein that the Youth Authority has
in respect to institutions established for persons committed to the
Youth Authority under Division 2.5 of this code and in respect to
such persons, except that the Youth Authority shall have no power to
parole, discharge, grant leave of absence to, or otherwise release
from the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School any person under the
custody of the Director of Corrections and transferred to and
confined in the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School, or to transfer
any such person from the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School to any
other institution whatever, except to return him to the custody of
the Director of Corrections.
Except as otherwise provided in this article, the provisions of
Part 3 of the Penal Code continue to apply to all persons in the
custody of the Director of Corrections who are transferred by the
Adult Authority to the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School, so far
as such provisions may be applicable.

1258. The Director of the Youth Authority, in connection with
industrial training at the Heman G. Stark Youth Training School,
Chino, California, may provide suitable materials and facilities for
use by persons confined in the school in the construction of houses
which can be moved which, upon their completion, shall be sold to the
public upon competitive bids. Proceeds derived from the sale of any
such house shall be deposited in the General Fund. Construction shall
be limited to not more than one each calendar year and the size
shall not exceed one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) square feet.
