## Text

The JDA prohibits juvenile detention in a place where juveniles would have regular contact with adults. 18 U.S.C. § 5035. In addition, the law requires that every juvenile in custody be provided with adequate food, heat, light, sanitary facilities, bedding, clothing, recreation, education and medical care, including necessary psychiatric, psychological, or other care and treatment.

When a juvenile is arrested or the United States will seek pretrial detention, the local U.S. Marshal is responsible for determining the availability of local juvenile bed space. To provide time for preparation and coordination, prosecutors are strongly encouraged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service prior to initiating a juvenile case.
