N.J. Admin. Code § 13:92-1.3 - Objectives of detention
(a) The
objectives of detention are:
1. To provide
temporary secure custody for those juveniles who are deemed a threat to the
physical safety of the community and/or whose confinement is necessary to
ensure their presence at the next hearing.
2. To minimize the potentially damaging
effects of confinement in a secure setting by supporting the juvenile's
physical, emotional, and social development, in an atmosphere which is as
non-threatening as possible.
3. To
meet the short-term needs of juveniles through a constructive program offering
educational, recreational, religious, and social opportunities.
