During which time period are juveniles typically required to be segregated from adults within correctional facilities?

Juveniles are typically required to be segregated from adults during sleeping hours in correctional facilities to ensure their safety and well-being. This segregation is based on the understanding that juveniles are more vulnerable and may be at risk of harm when housed with adult inmates. The law aims to protect juveniles from potential exploitation, violence, and negative influences that can occur in a mixed population setting.

While there are other times throughout the day when separation may also take place, such as during recreational activities or educational sessions, the most critical and enforced time for segregation tends to be during sleeping hours, as this is when the potential for risk and danger may be at its highest. Additionally, it allows for better monitoring and protection of juveniles during a vulnerable time when they are less aware of their surroundings.
