Neither Subpart C (Prisoners) nor Subpart D (Children) applies to juveniles in the correctional system because wardens of juvenile prisoners (unlike those for adult prisoners) act in loco parentis for juvenile offenders. This statement is false because:

The rate of juvenile immigration into the United States has been increasing rapidly from the 1980s through today. These juveniles are often not accompanied by parents or other guardians. Instead, the alien juveniles are arrested by a Department of Homeland Security Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and then detained in a camp similar to a prison pending a deportation hearing if they have no legal guardian. Unlike other types of prisoners, juvenile aliens do not have the right to be released into the custody of responsible adults who are not their parents or guardians while they wait for a hearing. Because of federal regulations, alien juveniles can only be released into the custody of parents, close relatives, and legal guardians. Therefore, many juvenile aliens are required to stay in the detention camps while they are waiting to have a hearing. Last week, Jimmy and Pietra (two juveniles) were caught trying to enter the county illegally. Jimmy and Pietra's parents are not able to come get them from the detention camp, and no other relatives are available to help. Jimmy and Pietra want to be released into the custody of a foster family instead of staying in the detention camp while they wait for their hearing. The ICE agent denies Jimmy and Pietra's request, and Jimmy and Pietra are kept in detention without any type of hearing as to whether the detention is necessary or proper in the first place. Jimmy and Pietra are required to stay in the detention camp until their deportation hearing is finished. Should these juvenile immigrants be allowed to have a preliminary hearing to determine if the detention is proper in the first place?
