Clarifying when detained or confined juveniles may have contact with incarcerated adult persons

SB 915 clarifies that juveniles, including those transferred to adult court, cannot be detained in facilities where they might have contact with or be near adult inmates (convicted or awaiting trial) or with adult facility staff. The bill removes ambiguous language from existing law and gives the Corrections Commissioner discretion to oversee staff procedures in jails or lockups where juveniles are placed near adults. It also requires the Division of Juvenile Services to notify courts when a juvenile turns 18, triggering a hearing to transfer them to an adult facility or other appropriate setting before their 18th birthday. This change aims to prevent confusion in juvenile placement decisions and ensure consistent handling within West Virginia's correctional system.
