22 VAC 42-11-500.E , is contrary to best practices in Secure Detention.
 

 

 

 

22 VAC 42-11-500.E  Should not apply to Secure Detention.  If this regulation is adopted without the exemption of Secure Detenton the likelihood of a tragedy  in Secure Detention will increase. The expectation of privacy in secure detention should never  superceeded  the safety of the child. This standard should be N/A  as applied to Secure Detention
