(730 ILCS 5/3-10-12) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-10-12)
Sec. 3-10-12.
The Director of the Department of Juvenile Justice may authorize the use of
any institution or facility of the Department of Juvenile Justice as a Juvenile
Detention Facility for the confinement of minors under 16 years of age in
the custody or detained by the Sheriff of any County or the police
department of any city when said juvenile is being held for appearance
before a Juvenile Court or by Order of Court or for other legal reason,
when there is no Juvenile Detention facility available or there are no
other arrangements suitable for the confinement of juveniles. The Director
of Juvenile Justice may certify that suitable facilities and
personnel are available at the appropriate institution or facility for the
confinement of such minors and this certification shall be filed with the
Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County. The Director of Juvenile Justice may withdraw or withhold certification at any time. Upon the
filing of the certificate in a county the authorities of the county may
then use those facilities and set forth in the certificate under the terms
and conditions therein for the above purpose. Juveniles confined, by the
Department of Juvenile Justice, under this Section, must be kept separate from
adjudicated delinquents.
