Pursuant to federal regulation, "detain or confine" means to hold, keep, or restrain a person such that he is not free to leave.” This includes juveniles who have been placed in cells, locked or lockable rooms that can prevent free egress, rooms with immovable cuffing devices, and areas within a secure perimeter. Juveniles who are being held by law enforcement personnel for their own safety in a non-secure area, and pending their reunification with a parent or guardian or pending transfer to the custody of a child welfare or social service agency, are not 'detained or confined' within the meaning of the JJDPA and do not need to be reported. Additionally, do not include juveniles who are released on the scene, transported directly home from the scene, or transported directly to a juvenile facility as they are outside the scope of this survey.
