§ 210 Juvenile Hall Standards

Key Takeaways

  • •There are rules for how juvenile halls (places where kids under 18 are kept) must be run.
  • •The Board of Corrections makes these rules to keep these places safe and fair.
  • •These rules are the minimum—meaning every juvenile hall must follow them at least.

Example

A juvenile hall where kids sleep on the floor with no blankets.

The Board of Corrections would say this is not allowed because their rules require proper beds and basic needs for all kids.
