§11117 Annual Report

Summary

Within 180 days after each fiscal year ends, the Administrator must send a report to the President, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate. The report must give recent, detailed data about juveniles taken into custody. The data must be shown separately for juvenile nonoffenders, juvenile status offenders, and other juvenile offenders. For each group the report must cover the types of charges, race, gender, and ethnicity (as defined by the Census), ages, kinds of places they were held (for example secure detention, correctional facilities, jails, and lockups, including juveniles treated as adults), deaths in custody and how they happened, education status (including learning or other disabilities, failing grades, grade retention, and dropping out), one month of data on use of restraints and isolation in state or local secure facilities, how many status-offense cases were sent to court and how many status offenders were held in secure detention with the reasons and average time held, how many juveniles were released and where they went, how many offenses started at school or were reported by school officials (as reported by the Department of Education or a similar state agency), and how many detained juveniles reported being pregnant. The report must also describe how money under this part was spent, the goals and accomplishments, and the Council’s recommendations; explain how each State followed section 11133 and the State’s plan for that year; evaluate the funded programs and how well they reduce juvenile delinquency, especially violent crime; describe the rules used to call programs “evidence-based” or “promising” and list those programs for rural and urban areas; describe funding to Indian Tribes under this chapter or under the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–211; 124 Stat. 2261), including direct federal grants and funds given through states or local governments; review the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention’s internal controls to see if grantees followed the rules and what was done to recover misspent funds (for example missing cost reports, unauthorized spending, or noncompliant subrecipients); and list recouped payments with the grantee’s name and location, the violation found, the amount the Office sought to recover, and the amount actually recovered.
