(1) Mandatory confinement.

A JRA youth must be confined for a minimum of thirty days for possession of a firearm or use of a deadly weapon while on parole, per RCW 13.40.210 (4)(c).

(2) Confinement for up to thirty days.

A JRA youth may be confined for a period not to exceed thirty days for violating one or more conditions of parole, per RCW 13.40.210 (4)(a)(i) through (iv).

(3) Confinement for remainder of sentence.

As provided for in RCW 13.40.210 (4)(a)(v) and (vi), certain JRA youth who are placed on parole before completing their maximum sentence may be returned to confinement for the remainder of their sentence if they violate conditions of parole.

(a) Sex Offenders: A JRA youth may be returned to confinement for the remainder of the sentence range if the offense for which the youth was sentenced is rape in the first or second degree, rape of a child in the first or second degree, child molestation in the first degree, indecent liberties with forcible compulsion, or a sex offense that is also a serious violent offense as defined under RCW 9.94A.030.

(i) The remainder of sentence is calculated as the maximum aggregated term of qualifying sex offenses, minus the number of days served on the aggregated sentence for the qualifying sex offense or offenses.

(ii) Previous days in confinement for a parole violation are not deducted in this calculation.

(iii) Aggregated terms are served such that any term or terms for qualifying sex offenses are considered the last served.

(b) Graduates of basic training camp: A JRA youth who has successfully completed the juvenile offender basic training camp program under RCW 13.40.320 may be returned to confinement for the remainder of their sentence range.

(i) The remainder of sentence is calculated as the maximum aggregated term or four hundred fifty-five days, whichever is shorter, minus the number of days served on their aggregated sentence and on active parole.

(ii) Previous days in confinement for a parole violation are not deducted in this calculation.

(4) Juvenile sex offender confinement for up to twenty-four weeks.

(a) As provided for in RCW 13.40.210 (4)(b), a JRA youth may be returned to confinement for up to twenty-four weeks if:

(i) The JRA youth was sentenced for a sex offense as defined in RCW 9A.44.130;

(ii) The JRA youth is known to have violated the terms of parole; and

(iii) In the determination of the secretary, other graduated sanctions or interventions have not been effective in controlling the youth's parole violations; or

(iv) The behavior is so egregious it warrants the use of the higher level intervention and the violation:

(A) Is a known pattern of behavior consistent with a previous sex offense that puts the JRA youth at high risk for reoffending sexually;

(B) Consists of sexual behavior that is determined to be predatory as defined in RCW 71.09.020; or

(b) The total number of days of confinement under subsection (4) shall not exceed the number of days provided by the maximum sentence imposed by the disposition for the underlying sex offense or offenses pursuant to RCW 13.40.0357.

(c) The department shall not aggregate multiple parole violations that occur prior to the parole revocation hearing and impose consecutive twenty-four week periods of confinement for each parole violation under subsection (4).

(5) Criteria for juvenile sex offender confinement.

A parole revocation petition to confine a juvenile sex offender for the remainder of sentence under subsection (3) or for up to twenty-four weeks under subsection (4) will be based on, but not limited to, the following behavioral and sentence considerations:

(a) Behavioral criteria:

(i) Behavior that appears to constitute a new sex offense or a statement by the JRA youth reporting a new sex offense;

(ii) Statements by the JRA youth that he/she is at imminent risk to re-offend sexually unless confined;

(iii) Accessing, making or possessing child pornography;

(iv) Accessing, making or possessing pornography that depicts excessive physical violence, death or threats of death, torture or infliction of pain, use of a weapon, humiliation or bondage;

(v) Possession of materials which, in total, constitute a "rape kit";

(vi) Unsupervised contact with previous victim(s) or target victim populations, except for approved peer age contact (attending school, etc.);

(vii) Use, possession or providing of drugs and/or alcohol associated with the JRA youth's illegal sexualized behaviors.

(b) Available remainder of sentence range.

If the JRA youth has not served the maximum sentence imposed for the underlying offense or offenses, and confinement under WAC 388-740-0070 (3) or (4) are both available, the petition for relief will take into account whether the remainder of sentence is sufficient to accomplish the purposes of the revocation. If so, the petition will be for confinement for the remainder of the sentence range; if not, the petition will be for up to twenty-four weeks of confinement.

(6) If the JRA youth's parole is revoked, the department must give the youth credit against any period of confinement for days served in detention pending the parole revocation hearing.

(7) Serving confinement.

(a) The JRA youth must serve his or her confinement in a facility or detention facility as described in WAC 388-740-0010.

(b) Confinement may be continuous, or for a portion of each day, or for certain days each week with the balance of time under supervision.

(8) If a juvenile's parole is revoked two or more times during one parole period, the secretary must approve any period of confinement exceeding a combined total of thirty days.

(9) Unless conditions of parole are otherwise amended, the order of parole conditions in effect at the time the parole was revoked shall be deemed reinstated immediately following any period of confinement.
