YCJA Adult Sentencing and Custody Transitions (Accused) - Transition and Placement Review (Ages 18 and 20)

The Process at a Glance: The workflow involves monitoring the client's age milestones. As the client approaches eighteen, counsel prepares to oppose any application by the provincial director to transfer the youth to an adult provincial facility. At age twenty, counsel prepares for the mandatory transfer to an adult facility, seeking exceptions if it is in the client's best interests to remain in the youth facility to complete programming. Counsel also coordinates opposition to any federal transfer applications.

Key Legislation and Case Law: Governed by section seventy-six (placements), section eighty-nine (federal penitentiary transfers), section ninety-two (transfers at age eighteen), and section ninety-three (transfers at age twenty) of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Key considerations include the best interests of the young person, public safety, and the rehabilitative programs available in each facility.
