Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024
Section 13:103-8.4 - Approval of potential visitors
(a) The Superintendent or designee may approve the following persons to visit a juvenile:
1. Relatives and legal guardians;
2. Clergy; and
3. Friends and other persons who may have a constructive influence on the juvenile.
(b) Any person with an adult criminal conviction or who is currently on probation or parole who wishes to visit a juvenile shall disclose such criminal history. Such persons shall not be automatically excluded from visiting a juvenile. The nature and extent of an individual's criminal record, plus their history of recent criminal activity, shall be weighed against the benefits of visitation in determining visitation eligibility. Failure to provide such disclosure shall result in the visitor being banned from visiting a juvenile for a minimum of 60 days and the visitor shall be required to apply in writing to the Executive Director or designee for approval of the reinstatement of visit privileges.
(c) Persons determined, by substantial evidence, to have a harmful influence upon the juvenile or to constitute a threat to the security of the residential community home shall not be granted visitation privileges.
(d) At the discretion of the Superintendent, former employees of the Commission may be permitted to visit a juvenile. The decision of the Superintendent shall be made on a case-by-case basis after due consideration of the security interests involved, and after the Superintendent is satisfied that the visit will not pose a threat to the safe, secure, and orderly operation of the residential community home.
