“Wimbish and his 24-hour-a-day staff run the Tidewater Youth Services Commission's apartment living program, which teaches young men just out of Bon Air — or a state commitment to a local detention center — how to live on their own. They learn to cook, keep a home clean, budget and get along with others. (They don't know their roommates, who are fellow program participants, beforehand.) The apartments are contracted and paid for by the Department of Juvenile Justice. The programs serves eight people at any one time for periods of six months to a year each.“
