2006 New York Code - Temporary Hold Over Units.

 
    § 503-a. Temporary  hold  over  units.  1.  The division may establish
  secure temporary hold over units at its facilities for the accommodation
  of youth placed with the division  pursuant  to  article  three  of  the
  family  court  act,  who are being transported to a division facility or
  program, a court appearance or a home visit, where  travel  arrangements
  or the distance to be travelled requires such a holdover. No youth shall
  be  held  in these units in excess of twenty-four hours unless emergency
  conditions, including illness of the youth or  severe  weather,  prevent
  travel.
    2.  Temporary  hold over units may be established on a regional basis.
  Contact between youth who are housed in a hold over unit  and  residents
  of  the  facility  shall be minimal.   Youth staying in a temporary hold
  over unit shall be under supervision at all times. At least one staff on
  duty shall be of the same gender as the youth.
    3. The temporary hold over units  shall  contain  individual  sleeping
  rooms, dining facilities and an area for recreation.
    4.  Juvenile  offenders committed to the custody of the division shall
  not be housed in temporary hold over units at any time.  Notwithstanding
  any  other  law,  the  division  shall  have  the authority to house any
  adjudicated youth placed with the division pursuant to article three  of
  the  family  court act, in a secure temporary hold over unit, subject to
  the provisions of this section.
