Pre-Adjudication Supervision (Release Conditions & Monitoring)

Pipeline 03E

Transparency note: small release cohorts and mid-year policy shifts (e.g., revised response grids or monitoring rules) may create volatility; series breaks are annotated and small-n cells are pooled across months/quarters.

Overview

Many youth are released while petitions and hearings move forward. Jurisdictions set tailored conditions—attendance, curfew, school engagement, or program participation—and may assign community-based alternatives to detention (ATDs), such as evening reporting or electronic monitoring. This page outlines how pre-adjudication supervision is structured, what is measurable, and how it connects to detention, diversion, and adjudication stages.

What We Track

Eligibility & Decision Logic

Release vs. hold criteria documented (policy grid/statute)
Detention risk instrument score & version recorded
Overrides logged with rationale & approver

Conditions & Contact Standards

Required check-ins (frequency & modality)
Curfew and school attendance conditions set
Program sessions (start date, cadence) scheduled

ATDs & Monitoring

ATD assignment (evening/day reporting, shelter/respite, EM)
Utilization vs. capacity tracked (enrolled ÷ slots)
Monitoring parameters configured (curfew windows, alerts)

Compliance & Responses

On-time check-ins & attendance rates tracked
Missed contacts and technical vs. new-law violations coded
Graduated responses applied short of revocation/readmission

Timeliness

Days from release → next hearing; continuances & reasons
Time to case resolution (diversion completion, dismissal/decline, adjudication)

Simple Flow

Release decision documented with conditions & any ATD
- Record tool score/version and any overrides with rationale
Orientation to expectations; schedule contacts & program starts
- Provide plain-language terms; confirm contact modality & language
Monitoring of contacts, attendance, compliance; record missed events
- Log curfew, check-ins, service milestones; note barriers & supports
Graduated responses for noncompliance; consider condition modifications
- Apply response grid; document proportionality & outcomes
Case resolution (diversion completion, dismissal/decline, adjudication) & transition
- Handoff to next stage (court, services, or closure) with audit trail

Data & Methods

Indicators use release-based denominators and time-at-risk adjustments through adjudication or closure. Compliance is measured as the proportion of expected contacts met; violations are categorized per Technical Violations vs. New Offenses. When eligibility rules or ATD models change, we mark series breaks. For exposure and timeliness conventions, see Denominators & Exposure Time and Time Series & Seasonality. Equity checks compare entry and response rates by race/ethnicity and geography following Cross-Jurisdiction Comparability.
