JJAG FY 2007 - 2008 Annual Report (Sept 2009)


Wednesday, September 2, 2009

This Annual Report will describe in detail the District's recent activities and system improvements largely as they relate to complying with the Act's four core requirements, which is also a condition to the District receiving federal formula funding. For example, the District's Innovative approaches underlying the design of its juvenile facilities and processing procedures continue to ensure that it complies with the Sight and Sound Separation core requirement under the Act. Similarly, the Metropolitan Police Deparment's best practice of not processing or holding youth at local police pickups has also contributed to the District's compliance with the Adult Jail and Lockup Removal core requirement. By virtue of its recommendation to hire a compliance monitor for the District of Columbia, the JJAG has faciliated the District's ability to capture and report this foregoing data to the federal government in order to ensure appropriate funding is allocated to our jurisdiction for ongoing juvenile justice programs.
