> Alaska juvenile jail monitoring

From 1988 to 2001 the Justice Center, under contract with the Alaska Division of Family and Youth Services (until 1999) and the Alaska Division of Juvenile Justice, monitored Alaska's compliance with the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) of 1974. The Justice Center also developed the plan for conducting monitoring activities used through FY 2001.
     JJDPA mandates (1) deinstitutionalization of status offenders -- meaning that youths accused of offenses which would not be crimes if they were adults, such as running away, curfew violation, or possession of alcohol, are not to be held in secure detention; (2) sight and sound separation between juvenile and adult offenders for those juvenile offenders who are detained; (3) removal of juveniles from adult jails and lockups (through, for example, placement in juvenile detention centers).
     Project activities each year included collection of data from all secure institutions in which juveniles might be detained. In addition, project staff conduct edsite visits to one third of the over 100 jails, lockups, and juvenile facilities in the monitoring universe, with each site visited once every three years.
