This standard prohibits video and audio monitoring in bathrooms, dressing areas and bedrooms.  This standard  should not be applicable to secure detention.  Secure detention facilities use cells monitored by video and audio for the safety of children who are suicidal, self-mutilators and for medical reasons.  Monitored cells are also used in admission/release areas while juveniles are awaiting processing.
