The facility administrator shall establish policies and procedures to restrict sight and sound contact, as defined in Section 1006, between detained minors and adults confined in the facility. The policies and procedures should consider trauma-informed approaches in protecting minors from contact.

In situations where brief or accidental contact may occur, such as booking or facility movement, facility staff (trained in the supervision of incarcerated people) shall maintain a constant, side-by-side presence with the minor or the adult to prevent sustained contact.

The above restrictions do not apply to minors who are participating in supervised program activities pursuant to Section 208 (c) of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
