Information on security and control procedures for juvenile corrections was collected from correctional administrators throughout the United States.
Abstract
All juvenile and adult State correctional administrators throughout the country were asked for copies of policies and procedures, regulations, and/or directives related to the issue of security, control, and unusual incidents. Over 30 States responded with complete sets of policies and procedures. These documents were used to draw up a policy checklist to enable administrators to review their current policies and procedures and to insure that all areas in security and control are being addressed. In addition, sample policies from various States are included in the areas of administration, personnel, program, operations/security, and special incidents/emergencies. An appendix lists policies by State.
