Page 9: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Transfer of Supervision - Overview

Page 10: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Supervision in the ICJ• “Supervision” has 3 components:

1. Oversight exercised over a juvenile determined by a court or appropriate authority for a period of time

2. Requires a juvenile to report to or be monitored by appropriate authorities

3. Regulations and conditions are imposed on the juvenile

• Supervision solely for monetary conditions is not applicable under the ICJ

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

10

Rule 1-101

Page 11: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Supervision and the ICJ, cont.• Transferring supervision does not relinquish

the sending state’s jurisdiction– Jurisdiction remains with sending state

• Violations of the conditions of supervision may be handled by the receiving state unless the sending state seeks return of the juvenile– When the violations constitute new delinquency or

status offense under the laws of the receiving state, that state retains the right to prosecute before the juvenile’s return to the sending state

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

11

Page 12: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Supervision and the ICJ, cont.• Both the sending and receiving states have

authority to enforce the terms of supervision– May include detention time in the receiving state – Costs incurred from any enforcement sanctions shall be

the responsibility of the state seeking to impose such sanctions

• ICJ Advisory Opinion 1-2010– The supervising state may impose graduated sanctions if

such standards are also applied to its own delinquent juveniles

• The type of incarceration is determined by the receiving state’s laws on the age of majority

Special Judicial Interests

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

Page 46: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

UCERA Considerations• The Uniform Criminal Extradition and Rendition Act

(UCERA) can affect the procedures for returning a fugitive

• Several courts have recognized that an interstate compact is an appropriate alternative procedure – States may return individuals without complying with the

UCERA

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

46

Page 47: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

Warrants• All warrants must be entered into the National

Crime Information Center (NCIC)– Holding state honors all warrants– The holding state notifies the home/demanding state

by the next business day that the juvenile is in custody

– The home/demanding state has 2 business days to decide if they will return the juvenile

• “No bond/bail warrants”– A juvenile remains in custodial detention regardless

of individual state statute– Juvenile to be held in secure detention– Juvenile has opportunity for a hearing

47

Rule 7-104

Page 48: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Judicial Sentencing Practices• The Revised ICJ should be viewed as a

supervision transfer mechanism– It does not limit the sentencing authority of a judge

• The Revised ICJ applies to all dispositional outcomes – Deferred adjudication, treatment options, custodial

placements, etc. do not restrict the application of the Compact

• Deferred prosecutions do not exempt a state from complying with the Revised ICJ

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

48

Page 49: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Hearings • U.S. Supreme Court cases may affect the

process for return of juveniles– See, e.g., Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471 (1972);

Gagnon v. Scarpelli, 411 U.S. 778 (1973); Carchman v. Nash, 473 U.S. 716 (1985)

• Under the Revised ICJ Rules, a state is not obligated to provide counsel in circumstances of revocation or retaking

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

49

Page 50: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Hearings, cont.• If the sending state will not revoke the juvenile’s

supervision, the juvenile is not entitled to a probable cause (PC) hearing

• A juvenile must be afforded a PC hearing where:– Retaking is for a purpose other than the commission of a

new felony offense; and– Revocation of conditional release by the sending state is

likely

• A variety of persons can fulfill the requirement of a neutral and detached authority – Officials qualified to handle revocation proceedings may

preside over PC hearings in the receiving stateServing Juveniles While Protecting Communities

Liability and Immunity within the ICJ

Page 52: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

52

Liability• All Compact member states can be held liable for

circumventing or violating the ICJ rules

• There is a legal obligation to follow and enforce the ICJ rules as written

• ICJ Liability for Commissioners/Designees does not exceed the limits of liability set forth under the Constitution and laws of that state for state officials, employees, and agents

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

Page 53: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Liability – General Considerations• Public employees are immune from suit for

discretionary acts – The decision to parole someone is usually a discretionary

act – The conduct must not violate the principle of

reasonableness or statutory / constitutional rights– Defined with words like “may” and “can”– These acts are not mandatory duties

• Public employees are not immune from suit for failing to fulfill a ministerial act – May be personally liable– Defined most often by “shall” or “must”– These acts impose a mandatory duty without regard to

discretion

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

53

Page 54: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Negligent Supervision• Some factors a court may consider in

determining whether a state official is liable for negligent supervision are:– Misconduct– Existence of special custodial or other– The foreseeability of an offender’s actions– Negligent hiring and supervision

• The obligation to fulfill ministerial acts generally gives rise to liability

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

54

Page 55: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Defense & IndemnificationSection 2 – Defense• The Commission will defend a Commissioner/representative in a

civil action seeking to impose liability, on the condition that the alleged act or error did not result from gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing on behalf of that person

Section 3 – Indemnification• The Commission indemnifies the Commissioner and representative

employees harmless in the amount of any settlement arising from such alleged act that occurred within the scope of Commission employment; provided that the person had reasonable basis for their actions and did not result from gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

55

ICJ By-laws

Page 56: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Judicial Immunity• Important only in the context of probation

– Generally no application to the parole setting

• Judicial immunity provides judicial officers with immunity for their judicial actions

• Not even judges have absolute judicial immunity for non-judicial, administrative actions

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

56

442 U.S.C. 1983

Page 57: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Judicial Immunity & Probation Officers• Probation officers may have qualified judicial

immunity in preparing a pre-sentence investigation report – Integral for a judge exercising judicial power in a case

• Acevedo v. Pima City. Adult Probation, 142 Ariz 319 (1984)• Determining if immunity applies depends on

– The nature of the function– The class of officials to whom it has been entrusted, and – The effect to which exposure to liability would have on the

proper exercise of the functions • Officials seeking exemptions from personal liability

must show that such exemption is justified by overriding considerations of public policy

• Forester v. White, 484 U.S. 219 (1988)

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

57

Page 58: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Qualified Immunity• A state official may be covered by qualified

immunity where they: 1.Carry out a statutory duty2.Act according to procedures dictated by statute and

superiors, and 3.Act reasonably

• Parole and probation officers may enjoy qualified immunity – If their actions are in furtherance of a statutory duty and – Actions are in substantial compliance with the directives

of superiors and relevant statutory or regulatory guidelines

Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

58

Page 59: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

42 USC 1983 Liability• Creates a state or federal cause of action for

damages arising out of the acts of state officials that violate an individual’s civil rights while acting under color of state law

• Courts have held that compacts do not create a federally enforceable right under 42 U.S.C. § 1983– Absent a clear intent by Congress to establish a federal

cause of action• Doe v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 513 F.3d

Question #1

What gives the Interstate Compact for Juveniles its authority to regulate the

interstate movement of juveniles?

61

Page 62: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Question #2

What if my state/jurisdiction has policies or laws that may potentially conflict with

the ICJ and its rules?

62Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

Page 63: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Question #3• Transferring juveniles through the ICJ

appears to be a complicated process:

Does a judge or parole board have the authority to bypass the transfer of

supervision procedures within the ICJ?

63Serving Juveniles While Protecting Communities

Page 64: Interstate Compact for Juveniles

Question #4

Does the ICJ limit a judge’s ability to extradite a juvenile fugitive?
