Model Policy & Practice Guidelines for Providing Non-Discriminatory Services to LGBT Youth in Juvenile Justice Facilities

The purpose of these Policy and Practice Guidelines is to establish operational practices that reinforce a facility's commitment to respect the dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth, create a safe environment for all members of the correctional community, and ensure that all youth have equal access to all available services, placement, care, treatment, and benefits provided by the facility.
