A juvenile who is wanted in another jurisdiction for prosecution as an adult is designated as:

• A. Juvenile Wanted in Another Jurisdiction as an Adult
• B. Officer-in-Charge
• C. Model Jail Standard
• D. Non-Secure Custody

Answer: (A)

This situation is about how staff label a juvenile in custody when there is an external warrant for adult prosecution. The specific designation used is a formal label that signals the juvenile has an outstanding request from another jurisdiction to be prosecuted as an adult. That tag helps ensure the intake and housing decisions reflect both the juvenile status and the potential for transfer or different handling under adult-prosecution procedures, while also alerting the staff to coordinate with outside authorities as needed. The other terms don’t fit this situation. A role like Officer-in-Charge refers to who is supervising the facility, not to the status of the youth. Model Jail Standard is the name of the overall standards, not a designation for an individual. Non-Secure Custody is a custody category describing where a person is housed, not a descriptor of an interjurisdictional adult-prosecution issue.
