The policies require youth to receive normal privileges when separated from the group. Separated youth must be reviewed on a daily basis to determine if separation remains necessary. When separation occurs in a locked sleeping room, the agency follows the steps for 1354.5 Room Confinement. The policies list the types of separation as follows: • Temporary Separation – A temporary separation period should not exceed 15 minutes and may involve restricting a youth to a designated area of the housing unit. • Discipline Separation – If separation lasts 24 hours or more, the youth is entitled to a due process hearing. • Group Separation – Is distinguished from temporary separation in that it ☒ ☐ ☐ exceeds 15 minutes and require a higher level of documentation and authorization. • Protective Custody – Facility staff determines protective custody status when information provided by the youth, law enforcement, or the youths support team alerts staff of a potential threat to the youth’s safety. • Voluntary Separation – Occurs at the request of the youth. • Medical/Mental Health Observation – Youth must remain separated from the group activities until the medical and/or mental health concerns have been cleared by medical and/or mental health staff. There was one sample provided; per the Superintendent on 08-13-25, there is only one example in the inspection period to provide. The facility can transfer youth to a different unit instead of placing the youth in separation in most cases. We interviewed staff and youth housed at the facility to assist with determining compliance with this regulation. 7001 Alameda PROB Alameda Juvenile Justice Facility JH CI PRO 25-26 Page 24 of 56 J453 JUV PRO eff. 01.01.25 TITLE 15 SECTION YES NO N/A P/P REFERENCE – COMMENTS2 (a) separation of youth for reasons that include, but are Policy and Procedure 1354, effective 03-12- not be limited to, medical and mental health conditions, 20, signed by Chief Still, reviewed by assaultive behavior, disciplinary consequences and ☒ ☐ ☐ Administration on June 30, 2025. protective custody.

When separation occurs in a locked sleeping room, the agency follows the steps for 1354.5 Room Confinement. The policies list the types of separation as follows: • Temporary Separation – A temporary separation period should not exceed 15 minutes and may involve restricting a youth to a designated area of the housing unit. • Discipline Separation – If separation lasts 24 hours or more, the youth is entitled to a due process hearing. • Group Separation – Is distinguished from temporary separation in that it ☒ ☐ ☐ exceeds 15 minutes and require a higher level of documentation and authorization. • Protective Custody – Facility staff determines protective custody status when information provided by the youth, law enforcement, or the youths support team alerts staff of a potential threat to the youth’s safety. • Voluntary Separation – Occurs at the request of the youth. • Medical/Mental Health Observation – Youth must remain separated from the group activities until the medical and/or mental health concerns have been cleared by medical and/or mental health staff. There was one sample provided; per the Superintendent on 08-13-25, there is only one example in the inspection period, and it did not involve an SYTF youth.
