Jay, I expect that the Department of Justice would disagree with your attorney's position. I would encourage him/her to review the preamble to the final PREA Standards, p. 17 under General Definitions, where the DOJ explicitly states "All juvenile facilities, including group homes and halfway houses, are governed by the Standards for Juvenile Facilities." (bold/italics added)
Hope that is helpful.
