Can juvenile information be disclosed to the public?
(top) Title 18 U.S. C. (5038) limits the release of information regarding juveniles. Juvenile court proceedings are sealed; and the release of these records is generally restricted to courts, law enforcement agencies, victims, and treatment agency administrators. If a juvenile is sentenced as an adult, upon turning 18 and arrival at the designated BOP facility, information that is public can be disclosed using the same procedures for information disclosure used with other inmates housed in the BOP.
