Youth justice (YCJA)

A separate, identity-protected and rehabilitative system.

Young persons aged 12 through 17 under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA).

  • Identity protected by default — publication bans and restricted record access.
  • Public detainee status: never disclosed.
  • Custody separate from adults, rehabilitative and least-restrictive.
  • The young person's own counsel and family participation in custody.

G89

Canadian criminal justice config is jurisdiction-tagged

Facility records carry legal jurisdiction, housing jurisdiction, custody layer, operator, and source metadata instead of relying on country-level defaults.

G97

Canadian detention lists are source-validated

Every seeded or enumerated Canadian facility points to an official government, court, or CSC source and is marked as checked on 2026-06-17.

G98

Housing jurisdiction and operator are distinct

Federal custody remains ca.federal while housing is the physical province or territory; Section 81 healing lodges are marked as partner-operated where applicable.

G95

Youth identity is protected by default

Young-person, young-victim and young-witness identities are never public status fields; publication-ban and youth-record restrictions are on by default.

G96

Youth custody is separate and rehabilitative

Youth custody uses a distinct youth-system profile with rehabilitative, least-restrictive custody rules and cannot be routed through adult detention facilities.
