Subpart 1. Supervision of nonemployee service personnel.

A person working at the facility, who is not employed by the facility, must be under the general supervision of facility staff, unless that person has been trained in the facility's policies and procedures. No contact by such persons with residents is permitted.

Subp. 2. Extra duty.

No employee may be scheduled for duty for two consecutive work periods except in a documented emergency, or when unusual circumstances require reasonable and prudent exception. No employee may work more than 16 hours in each 24-hour period.

Subp. 3. Continuing need reviewed.

Policies and procedures must be established that include time lines for the review of individual cases to determine the need for continued secure placement. There must be written criteria addressing circumstances under which a resident must be moved to less restrictive parts of the facility if appropriate. When a license holder moves a resident from a secure to a nonsecure space in a facility for programming purposes, the license holder must notify the appropriate juvenile court.

Subp. 4. Plans for group arrest.

A secure facility providing correctional program services must have written plans governing space arrangements and procedures to follow in the event of a group arrest that exceeds the maximum capacity of the facility. These plans must be reviewed at least annually and updated.
