On the recordJuly 15, 1997
we urge the court to use the rural exception carefully, and these criteria should provide the court with some assistance in rendering a decision on this issue. The committee believes it is important that the court consider the criteria in determining the relationship between the juvenile and their parents or guardian, the conditions in the jail or lockup facility, and the potential impact on the general welfare of the juvenile from being housed in such an adult facility. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have worked with the gentleman from California [Mr. Miller] to address his concerns.
