Facts About Locked Detention

      Delinquent youth can only be held in Locked Detention if they:
    • meet the Statewide Detention Admission Guidelines; or
    • are ordered into detention by a Juvenile Court Judge.
The Statewide Detention Admission Guidelines are an extensive list of “Holdable Offenses” which specifically outline the offenses that will admit a youth into detention. These include offenses such as:
    • auto theft
    • home burglary
    • assault
    • sale and use of drugs
    • armed robbery
    • aggravated burglary
Only the Juvenile Court can order a youth into Locked Detention

A Detention Hearing is held within 48 hours of admission to a detention facility. The Juvenile Court Judge decides if the youth should continue in Locked Detention, be returned home, or placed in a less restrictive placement. The Judge uses the following criteria to make the decision:

    • is the youth a danger to himself or others?
    • is the youth at risk of not appearing in court when summoned?

TIP

Youth with the following conditions can not be admitted to a locked detention facility:

    • ungovernable
    • runaway
    • out of control
    • neglected, abused, abandoned
    • attempted suicide
    • truant
    • possessing or consuming alcohol
    • under age 10

Home Detention

Delinquent youth can be confined at home as an alternative to Locked Detention if they are not a danger to themselves or the community and a Juvenile Court Judge orders them to Home Detention.
