Section 2504.40  Temporary

Confinement

a)         The shift supervisor shall determine whether or not it is

necessary to place the youth in investigative status or in temporary

confinement status pending a disciplinary hearing or a determination whether or

not to issue a disciplinary or investigative report in accordance with Section 2504.30.

The Chief Administrative Officer shall also have the authority to release the youth

from temporary confinement.  The decision to place a youth in temporary

confinement may be based, among other matters, on:

1)         The aggressiveness of the youth;

2)         The threat posed to the safety and security of the facility or

any person;

3)         The need to restrict the youth's access to general population

to protect the individual from injury or to conduct the investigation; or

4)         The seriousness of the offense.

b)         A youth shall not be placed in temporary confinement status

pending a disciplinary hearing for more than 4 days unless the individual is in

investigative status.
