LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Training is critical for any profession, and it's no different for the juvenile justice system.

17-year-old Jordan Daniel was sentenced to serve time at the Ohio Department of Youth Services up until he reaches the age of 21. Daniel was also sentenced as an adult to a term of 20 years to life, but that term will be stayed pending a motion to impose.

Working with what you have is what the Allen County Juvenile Court is doing. Each year it's a waiting game for the court to see how much funding they will get from the state from its Reclaim program through the Ohio Department of Youth Services. This year it's nearly $200,000 less. The funding is based on "Bed Day" credits. The more youth that the juvenile court commits to state facilities the fewer credits they receive.
