      Judge: State Youth Prison Reform Going Too Slow

       SACRAMENTO (AP) -- A state judge said California corrections officials 
      are moving too slowly to reform the juvenile justice system, a situation 
      that could lead to judicial oversight.
      Alameda County Superior Court Judge Jon Tigar said state officials 
      promised improvements in 2004 but haven't followed through as quickly as 
      he had expected.
      Last November, he issued a preliminary decision indicating he would 
      appoint a receiver for the state's Division of Juvenile Justice.
      He recently held a series of hearings into the matter, ending Thursday. He 
      will decide later this year whether to appoint a receiver to oversee 
      reforms.
      The system houses 1,878 inmates ranging in age from 12 to 25.
