SUMMARY:

Places for confinement of juveniles. Allows a separate juvenile detention facility to be located within any adult regional jail facility. Currently the juvenile facility may be on the same site with an adult facility constructed after 1994. On-going, regular use of such facilities is limited however to adult facilities approved for the purpose by the Department of Juvenile Justice and the Board of Corrections and only for specified localities. The localities must demonstrate to DJJ that they have consistently (for five years) exceeded capacity at their juvenile facilities and that they have made a financial commitment to expand capacity at their juvenile detention facilities.
