Sec. 2. A juvenile detention facility is a secure facility that:
(1) is only used for the lawful custody and treatment of juveniles and meets state standards and licensing requirements as provided in department of correction rule 210 IAC 6; or
(2) is located on the same grounds or in the same building as an adult jail or lockup and meets the following four (4) criteria:
(A) Total separation between juvenile and adult facility spatial areas so that there could be no haphazard or accidental contact among juvenile and adult residents in the respective facilities. If space is used for both juveniles and adults, time-phasing of the use is acceptable if the arrangement precludes haphazard or accidental contact among juvenile and adult residents at all times. Sleeping or other living areas may not be shared under any circumstances.
(B) Total separation in all juvenile and adult program activities within the facilities, including recreation, education, counseling, health care, dining, sleeping, and general living activities. Program activities may not be shared by juvenile and adult residents. However, program space, equipment, and other resources may be used by both juvenile and adult residents subject to clause (A).
(C) The administration and security functions of the juvenile detention program must be vested in separate staff who, if the staff serve both populations, are trained to serve a juvenile population. Security and other direct care staff may not be used to serve the adult jail at the same time or during the same tour of duty that security and other direct care staff serve in the juvenile detention facility. Specialized services staff, such as cooks, bookkeepers, and medical professionals who are not normally in contact with detainees or whose infrequent contact occurs under conditions of separation of juveniles and adults, can serve both juvenile and adult residents.
(D) The facility meets state standards and licensing requirements as provided in department of correction rule 210 IAC 6. The architectural and operational configuration of the juvenile facility must assure total separation.
