NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 15A.210 mandates that the Department of Juvenile Justice issue administrative regulations governing juvenile detention centers and juvenile holding facilities.
Section 1.
(1) The facility shall
maintain separation between juveniles and adults so that there is no sustained
sight or sound contact between juveniles and incarcerated adults in the
facility. Separation shall be achieved architecturally in residential areas,
and may be achieved through time-phasing in indoor recreation, outdoor
recreation, education and dining areas, and other nonresidential
areas.
(2) Adult inmates shall not
be permitted in any juvenile residential areas under any
circumstances.
(3) Adult inmates
shall not, under any circumstances, be permitted in any common use
non-residential areas when juveniles are present in such areas.
(4) If juveniles share programming space with
adult inmates, or must travel through the adult area of the facility to access
any juvenile area, the facility shall have a written policy and corresponding
procedures outlining the process that shall be used to ensure that juveniles
remain sight and sound separated from adults when moving to and from activities
in common areas or facilities shared with the adult inmates, and while
participating in activities in these areas.
(5) The facility shall have completely
separate juvenile and adult programs. The facility shall adopt written policies
and procedures that are completely separate from those developed for the adult
portion of the facility.
(6) The
jailer shall appoint an individual to serve as the supervisor of the juvenile
holding facility. Except for the jailer, who is responsible for the entire jail
operation, all management, security, and direct care staff for the juvenile
holding facility shall be completely separate from that for the adult facility.
Staff providing medical care, food service, laundry, maintenance, engineering,
and other specialized services, may serve both the adult and juvenile
populations.
