Universal Citation: WI Admin Code ยง DOC 371.15

Current through August 26, 2024

(1) PLACEMENT AUTHORITY. OJOR shall determine when to place a youth on aftercare from a type 1 or type 2 secured correctional facility or to administratively transfer a youth from a type 1 secured correctional facility to a type 2 secured correctional facility.

(2) TERMINATION AUTHORITY. The administrator or his or her designee shall determine whether a youth should be terminated from a type 2 secured correctional facility, consistent with s. DOC 396.12. A department order shall be signed to administratively transfer a youth from a type 2 secured correctional facility to reception at a type 1 secured correctional facility.

(3) RECOMMENDATION. The committing county, superintendent or agent may recommend to OJOR, consistent with s. DOC 371.12(3) that a youth be placed on aftercare or transferred at any time. The aftercare case plan under s. DOC 371.16 is not required to make an aftercare decision, but shall be considered if available.

(4) PROCEDURES. OJOR shall use the review procedures in s. DOC 371.12 to review recommendations under sub. (3). When OJOR considers a recommendation for aftercare or transfer at an informal review or any unscheduled time, OJOR shall consult with members of JPRC regarding the appropriateness of aftercare, transfer, placement category or conditions of aftercare or transfer.

(5) DECISION.

(a) OJOR shall determine whether a youth is eligible for aftercare or transfer and designate a placement category. OJOR may impose conditions on aftercare or transfer.

(b) OJOR shall make decisions regarding aftercare, transfer, placement category and conditions in writing and shall forward a copy of the decision to the youth, parents of a youth under the age of 18 years or legal guardian and all members of the JPRC within 7 days after completion of the procedure under sub. (4).

(6) REQUEST FOR REVIEW. JPRC members may submit a written request for review by the administrator to the OJOR director regarding a decision under sub. (4) within 7 days of the day the decision is issued. The administrator shall consult with the OJOR director and issue a final decision in writing within 7 days of receipt of the request by the OJOR director. OJOR shall forward copies of the decision to the party requesting review. Failure of the administrator to issue a decision within 7 days confirms the decision made by OJOR.

(7) IMPLEMENTATION. When OJOR determines that a youth is eligible for aftercare or transfer and designates a placement category or imposes other conditions on the action, OJOR shall notify the institution social worker and the agent who are responsible for implementing the order.
