Youth Bill of Rights
Under the Youth Bill of Rights, juvenile offenders have a chance for a fair and humane experience in the legal system at the state and county levels. Inside the bill, 18 issues are addressed, including the right to a safe and healthy environment, access to clean water, daily showers, personal hygiene items, healthy food, clean clothing, and underwear, to name a few. When youths are arrested or detained by law enforcement, they must be informed of their rights and granted access to legal counsel before questioning. Other rights include the right to receive timely notice of any hearings scheduled, the right to communications between youths and their family members and attorney, and the right to timely court proceedings.
