In accordance with the New Jersey Code of Juvenile Justice (2A:4A-20 et seq.), juveniles adjudicated delinquent may be sentenced to a term of incarceration of up to 60 consecutive days in county-operated juvenile detention facilities. Since the Code of Juvenile Justice specifically requires that the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission certify all juvenile detention facilities which may be utilized for this dispositional alternative, the Commission has promulgated the minimum standards which must be met by those facilities receiving adjudicated delinquents under the Code of Juvenile Justice. The standards in this chapter are in addition to the Manual of Standards for Juvenile Detention Facilities located at N.J.A.C. 13:92.
