If the facility is not in compliance with such  standards when six months have elapsed from the giving of such notice,  the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, may petition the appropriate court for an  order requiring such facility to comply with the standards established  by the Department or for other appropriate relief.(c) The Department of Corrections may provide consultation services for the  design, construction, programs and administration of correctional facilities and services for adults  operated by counties and municipalities and may make studies and  surveys of the programs and the administration of such facilities.

These standards shall include monitoring,  educational, recreational, and disciplinary standards as well  as access to medical services, crisis intervention, mental health services,  suicide prevention, health care, nutritional needs, and visitation rights.
