Requires YJC to publish information regarding juveniles who were waived to adult criminal court and are serving custodial sentences in State juvenile facilities.
This bill requires New Jersey's Youth Justice Commission to create and maintain a public registry of juveniles who were transferred to adult criminal court and are currently serving sentences in state juvenile facilities. The registry will include personal details such as names, sentences, facility locations, release dates, and criminal histories for both juveniles whose cases were waived without their consent and those who elected the waiver. Additionally, the commission must publish biennial reports with aggregated data on offenses, incarceration terms, demographics, and incidents like violence or segregation within these facilities. The law also mandates that the commission publish parole eligibility criteria online and provide this information to each incarcerated juvenile.
