Authorizes the correctional association to inspect residential juvenile detention facilities
This bill authorizes the Correctional Association of New York to regularly inspect all secure, limited secure, and non-secure juvenile detention facilities operated by the Office of Children and Family Services, including conducting unannounced visits. It requires the association to report abuse immediately to authorities and mandates quarterly access to facilities to advise youth about their rights and a confidential hotline for reporting abuse. The bill also establishes a toll-free hotline run by Prisoners' Legal Services of New York and grants them legal representation authority for youth in these facilities, with all findings and reports made publicly available online. It specifically excludes foster care placements and youth placed with relatives.
