Amendments:
Specify that room confinement shall not be used before
other less restrictive options have been attempted and
exhausted, unless attempting those options poses a threat
to the safety or security of any minor, ward, or staff.
Provide that authorization to extend room confinement
beyond four hours may be obtained by 'documented'
authorization instead of restricted to 'written'
authorization by the facility superintendent or his or her
designee every four hours thereafter.
Add a coauthor.
