at the facility. However, a youth shall not be entitled to compensation
for any loss or damage caused by disposition or shipping of property
in accordance with this procedure.
(1) [()] Parents and youth will be notified in writing of the
rules relating to personal possessions.
(m) [(e)] TYC Operated Institutions. With the exception of
the TYC assessment center, youth in TYC operated institutions will
be allowed or denied the following possessions in accordance with the
standards outlined in this policy.
(1) Clothes and Shoes.
(A) Dress code requirements will be based upon the
youth's progress in the agency's established treatment program in
order to easily identify a youth's phase, and in order to enhance
the youth's incentive to participate in such program. Facilities will
provide all youth with standardized clothing.
(B) Youth on phases III and IV will be provided with
clothing that reflect their success in the Resocialization program. Each
facility will develop a local policy specifying dress code requirements.
At a minimum, youth on phase III and IV will be provided with blue
jeans or khaki pants that fit properly, and youth on phase IV will be
provided with collared shirts. Facilities where youth wear military at-
tire are exempt from this requirement.
(C) Youth of all phases will be provided with standard
shoes. Phase III and IV youth will be allowed to possess one pair of
their own tennis shoes. Shoes must be black, white, or black and white.
Shoes may be purchased with money from the youth's student trust
fund, either through a commissary or through store runs. The family
may provide shoes to the youth only if they are shipped directly from
the store, in an effort to prevent contraband from entering the facility.
Shoes will not be provided by the family at visitation.
(D) Facilities may allow youth to possess additional ap-
propriate clothing to wear to off-campus privileges such as community
jobs or school. Personal clothing for these purposes will be either pro-
vided by the facility or purchased with money from the youth's trust
fund. The family may provide this clothing to the youth only if they
are shipped directly from the store, in an effort to prevent contraband
from entering the facility.
(E) If a youth loses a phase, the youth may be allowed
to keep personal clothing/shoes in his/her possession. However, the
youth will not be allowed to wear the clothing/shoes until he/she has
achieved the required phase again.
(F) Youth of any phase will be allowed to possess per-
sonal shoes if they are medically necessary; however, the facility may
choose to provide this to the youth in lieu of the family.
(2) Jewelry. Because jewelry represents a risk to facility
safety (e.g. items may be used as a weapon or may injure staff/student
during a restraint), youth are not allowed to possess any jewelry.
(3) Watches. To provide an incentive to participate and
progress in the agency's Resocialization program, phase III and IV
youth will be provided a personal inexpensive watch, preferably
provided by the Volunteer Council or purchased by the facility using
money from the Student Benefit Fund.
(4) Foods.
(A) As food on the dorm has demonstrated to be a risk
to sanitary living conditions, youth are not allowed to have personal
food items in their possession.(B) Facilities will provide vending machines or a com-
missary in the visitation area accessible to visitors to purchase food and
drinks for youth and families to consume during visitation only.
(C) There will not be a limit to the amount of money
brought into the facility by the family for use in the commissary or
vending machines.
(D) Family members may not bring food to visitation,
and youth will not be allowed to take food away from visitation, nor
will they be allowed to receive food through the mail.
(5) Hygiene Products and Makeup.
(A) Facilities will provide appropriate and adequate hy-
giene products to all youth.
(B) To provide an incentive to participate and progress
in the agency's Resocialization program, phase IV youth will be al-
lowed to possess the following individually-purchased personal hy-
giene products: Bar soap, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrush, deodor-
ant, lotion, and/or hair products.
(C) Females will be allowed to possess and wear
makeup based upon the youth's progress in the agency resocialization
program in an effort to:
(i) encourage youth to maintain a pro-social appear-
ance and increased self-respect;
(ii) provide TYC an opportunity to teach girls per-
sonal grooming skills such as how to apply makeup appropriately to
avoid an anti-social or deviant appearance; and
(iii) provide an incentive for youth to progress
through the agency's rehabilitation program.
(D) Phase II female youth will also be allowed to pos-
sess and wear facility-provided lip-gloss, and personal pressed powder.
(E) Phase III female youth will be allowed to possess
and wear facility-provided lip-gloss, as well as personal pressed pow-
der, blush, mascara (non-waterproof brown or black only), and facial
moisturizer (tinted or non-tinted).
(F) Phase IV female youth will be allowed to possess
and wear facility-provided lip-gloss, as well as personal pressed pow-
der, blush, mascara (non-waterproof brown or black only), facial mois-
turizer (tinted or non-tinted), lipstick, and base (in a compact, stick
form, or plastic container only).
(G) Tweezers will be provided to girls at all phases to
groom their eyebrows / facial hair. However, the youth will have only
controlled access, and shared tweezers will be sterilized between uses.
Any youth may be prohibited access to tweezers if there is concern that
the youth will use the tweezers inappropriately. This restriction will be
documented on the youth's ICP.
(6) Restrictions on the Use of Makeup.
(A) For sanitary reasons, makeup may not be shared
among youth.
(B) Girls may lose the privilege of wearing makeup
while on restriction for category I or II rule violations.
(C) Girls on the Corsicana Stabilization Unit may not
wear makeup.
(D) Boys will not be allowed access to makeup
for safety issues (violating the social norms would leave the boys
vulnerable to ridicule and/or harassment).30 TexReg 7030 October 28, 2005 Texas Register
