A Bureau institution may not be designated for a juvenile who has not attained his or her 18th birthday unless that institution can ensure that the juvenile will not have regular contact with adults. 5032, an institution must be designated in accordance with the Security Designation and Custody Classification Manual. For a juvenile who has no federal adult sentences and is found delinquent, placement is to be in accordance with the procedures in Section 7.a. If there is a consecutive federal adult sentence, the inmate is to continue to be treated as a juvenile for institution designation while serving the juvenile sentence. The juvenile may remain in a contract juvenile facility for continuity of program participation.
Juveniles are a special population with special designation needs.
Each should be placed in a facility that provides the appropriate level of programming and security. A CCM requesting a designation for a juvenile shall work with the Management Center Administrator and other CCMs to identify the most appropriate facility to designate for the juvenile. In all cases the Program Statement on Central Inmate Monitoring must be followed. A variety of resources are available for juveniles. A foster home may house one or two delinquents, but no more than two, in a family home, where there may also be natural or adopted children.
