Prohibiting the use of any prone restraint on a juvenile who is in custody at a juvenile detention facility or juvenile correctional facility or being assessed as part of the juvenile intake and assessment system.

SB 208 prohibits the use of face-down restraint (prone restraint) on juveniles aged 10-18 who are in juvenile detention or correctional facilities or undergoing intake assessments. It directly affects juvenile detention centers, correctional facilities, and staff conducting intake assessments. The law explicitly bans this restraint method in two specific settings: while juveniles are held in custody at these facilities or during the assessment process. This policy change is part of Kansas' juvenile justice code, aiming to improve safety and care standards for minors in custody.
