Provided a short overview of PREA, the law, role of the PRC, and addressed the Standard related to juvenile transgender searches. (115.315)
Apparently when juveniles were being processed for a hearing, the staff at the jail were strip searching the juveniles upon return from the courts or strip searching after a visit that was not by an attorney. Magistrate Lung wants to review the Standards and will follow up with the jail staff.
I was asked to attend the Committee meeting and discuss PREA related standards to searching of youth (includes strip searches). I Indicated that the Standards apply to 4 areas, including the Lock Ups in Courts.
I was asked to attend the December meeting and provide a short overview of applicable PREA Standards on youth and searches.
