Advisory Opinion 2-2012

Read more about Advisory Opinion 2-2012

If a juvenile is arrested on a new offense in a state other than the juvenile's home state, could the holding state's detention center bill the juvenile's family with detention fees while the new charge is going through the court process? At what point would the hold on the new charge end, and the ICJ hold begin? Would it be the responsibility of the holding state to notify the home state of when the new charges were settled and the ICJ process had begun? Could a holding state ever bill the home state for the cost of detention fees?

Regional Representative

Howard Wykes

Designee/Deputy Compact Administrator, Arizona

Howard Wykes began his career in the juvenile justice field in 2001, working as a youth correctional officer for the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections. He has always enjoyed working with juveniles and felt this was a way for him to provide wisdom that could lead to opportunities for the juveniles. In 2004, Howard was promoted to Parole Officer and got the opportunity to have a more direct impact on the juveniles in the system. This was also his first exposure to ICJ as a supervising field officer. In 2014, Howard was promoted to Parole Supervisor which enabled him the opportunity to have a greater reach on the number of juveniles he was coming into contact with. He has since transitioned from field supervision of juveniles to mentoring those doing the field supervision of ICJ youth. This offered a chance to share his experience and lessons learned from his time in the field. In 2019, Howard was promoted into an administrative position including taking over as the Deputy Compact Administrator for the Arizona ICJ office. He attended his first ABM that year in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he loved meeting other ICJ practitioners from around the country. Howard got further involved with ICJ by serving on an Ad Hoc committee, the Training Committee, Technology Committee, and Rules Committee. In 2022, Howard was appointed the Arizona ICJ Full Time Designee and was elected as the Western Region Rep at the 2022 ABM in Vermont.

Regional Representative

Caitlyn Bickford

Commissioner/Deputy Compact Administrator/UNITY Coordinator, New Hampshire

Caitlyn Bickford is the Commissioner and Deputy Compact Administrator for the New Hampshire Division for Children, Youth and Families Interstate Office. Caitlyn began her career with NH DCYF in 2007 as a Child Protective Service Worker (CPSW) in a local district office, working closely with families with a substantiated finding of abuse or neglect in order to reunify children with their parents, or assisting the parents with maintaining their children in their home. Caitlyn then worked as a Permanency CPSW, focusing on achieving sustainable permanency for children that were legally free for adoption. From there, she was promoted to the position of Permanency Supervisor within that local office, where she supervised a staff of 6-8 workers, along with ensuring a sustained attention on permanency for all of the children within that local office. After 4-years as a Supervisor, Caitlyn then accepted a position within NH DCYF’s State Office as the Deputy Compact Administrator for the Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children (ICPC) in 2017. At that time, ICJ was being managed by another position within State Office. Caitlyn advocated for ICPC and ICJ to be under the same position given the similarities and unique crossover there often is, especially given Child Protection and Juvenile Justice are both within NH DCYF. Caitlyn became the Commissioner and DCA for ICJ in 2018. Her position continued to expand in 2018 with the addition of a specific home study unit responsible for completing all incoming ICPC Home Studies, which she supervises and oversees. Caitlyn’s position once again expanded when began overseeing the Human Trafficking program in 2020. As the Interstate Programs Administrator of New Hampshire, Caitlyn oversees ICPC, ICJ and the Human Trafficking Program Specialist.
