(1) Your secure CRC must ensure that no youth is kept in a locked room that isolates the youth from the general population or staff.

(2) You must also limit exit by one of the following methods:

(a) Have windows and doors that allow exit, but have a non-scalable perimeter fence around the facility property. This fence shall be designed to not cause injury, avoiding use of electrification, razor wire or concertina wire; or

(b) Have egress-control devices which meet or exceed current state building codes for facilities with special egress-controlled devices (rather than locking windows and doors or a perimeter fence), that prevent unauthorized exit.
