Bill overview
This bill updates Nevada’s rules for using ‘corrective room restriction,’ a practice used to manage behavior in juvenile detention facilities. It requires more frequent and detailed reviews of children in this restriction, ensuring they receive mental health evaluations and are returned to the general population as quickly as possible. The bill also limits the duration of corrective room restriction to 72 hours and mandates monthly reporting on its use to track potential issues and ensure appropriate practices are followed.
