12lockup for more than 12 hours, unless the offense is a crime of
13violence in which case the minor may be detained up to 24
14hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence"
15has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
16Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
17        (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
18    once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
19    handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
20    county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
21    minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
22    custody.
23        (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
24    supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
25    remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.

3    that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
4        (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
5    is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
6    circumstances for the decision to detain and the length of
7    time the minor was in detention.
8        (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
9    county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of
10    itself, render inadmissible evidence obtained as a result
11    of the violation of this time limit. Minors under 18 years
12    of age shall be kept separate from confined adults and may
13    not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or yard with
14    adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18 years
15    of age and older who have a petition of delinquency filed
16    against them shall may be confined in an adult detention
17    facility. A person who is 18 years of age or older who has
18    been adjudicated a delinquent minor and who has violated
19    the terms or conditions of his or her juvenile parole or
20    aftercare release and is being tried as an adult for
21    violating the terms or conditions of his or her juvenile
22    parole or aftercare release may not be confined in a
23    juvenile detention facility. In making a determination
24    whether to confine a person 18 years of age or older who
25    has a petition of delinquency filed against the person,

12or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
13years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
14adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,

13enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in the
14county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail
15under this provision shall be separated from adults who are
16confined in the county jail in such a manner that there will be
17no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the juvenile
18and adult prisoners.
