A Guide to Juvenile Detention Reform: Juvenile Detention Facility Assessment

The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiatives (JDAI) updated their guide to maintaining safe and humane conditions of confinement in juvenile detention facilities to reflect the final rule of the PREA standards in 2012. This revised document applies a PREA lens to JDAI's existing materials on conducting a rigorous facility assessment for juvenile detention.

The goal of the JDAI Juvenile Detention Facility Assessment is to provide objective feedback to the site about facility conditions and services that are or are not in conformity with the JDAI facility standards.
