31 Miss. Code. R. 9-2.6 - Population Management

1. Written policies, procedures, and actual practices ensure that when the institutional population approaches or reaches its operational capacity, appropriate youth are released, transferred, or "stepped down" to non-secure settings.

2. Written policies, procedures, and actual practices ensure that staff review the institutional population on a daily basis to identify youth who may no longer need secure confinement and make appropriate notifications to the youth court judge.

3. The agency responsible for detention regularly collects, reviews, and reports data, including: number of youth brought to detention by each agency (e.g., police, school police, group home); offenses charged or other reasons for detention such as failure to appear or violation of probation; admissions to detention; releases from detention; average daily population in detention; average length of stay in detention; and rearrests, violations of probation, and failures to appear. All data are available disaggregated by race/ethnicity, gender, and geography.
