SB2807- 4 -LRB103 34067 RLC 63884 b

1Act for aggravated vehicular hijacking shall be detained in an
2authorized detention facility until a detention or shelter
3care hearing is held to determine if there is probable cause to
4believe that the minor is a delinquent minor and: (1) secure
5custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the
6protection of the minor or of the person or property of
7another; (2) the minor is likely to flee the jurisdiction of
8the court; or (3) the minor was taken into custody under a
9warrant. If the court makes that determination, the minor
10shall continue to be held until the disposition of an
11adjudicatory hearing under this Article.
12    (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or
13(e), no minor shall be detained in a county jail or municipal
14lockup for more than 12 hours, unless the offense is a crime of
15violence in which case the minor may be detained up to 24
16hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence"
17has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
18Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
19        (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
20    once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
21    handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
22    county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
23    minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
24    custody.
25        (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
26    supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or

 

 

SB2807- 5 -LRB103 34067 RLC 63884 b

1    remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
2        (iii) Upon placement in secure custody in a jail or
3    lockup, the minor shall be informed of the purpose of the
4    detention, the time it is expected to last and the fact
5    that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
6        (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
7    is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
8    circumstances for the decision to detain, and the length
9    of time the minor was in detention.
10        (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
11    county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of
12    itself, render inadmissible evidence obtained as a result
13    of the violation of this time limit. Minors under 18 years
14    of age shall be kept separate from confined adults and may
15    not at any time be kept in the same cell, room, or yard
16    with adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18
17    years of age and older who have a petition of delinquency
18    filed against them may be confined in an adult detention
19    facility. In making a determination whether to confine a
20    person 18 years of age or older who has a petition of
21    delinquency filed against the person, these factors, among
22    other matters, shall be considered:
23            (A) the age of the person;
24            (B) any previous delinquent or criminal history of
25        the person;
26            (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of the

 

 

SB2807- 6 -LRB103 34067 RLC 63884 b

1        person; and
2            (D) any mental health or educational history of
3        the person, or both.
4    (d)(i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in a
5county jail in a county with a population below 3,000,000
6inhabitants, then the minor's confinement shall be implemented
7in such a manner that there will be no contact by sight, sound,
8or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
9years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
10adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
11or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
12apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
13not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
14court-designated holidays. To accept or hold minors during
15this time period, county jails shall comply with all
16monitoring standards adopted by the Department of Corrections
17and training standards approved by the Illinois Law
18Enforcement Training Standards Board.
19    (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,
20after the time period prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this
21subsection (2) of this Section but not exceeding 7 days
22including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays pending an
23adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all
24temporary detention standards adopted by the Department of
25Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois

4shall comply with all county juvenile detention standards
5adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
6    (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is
7prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State, the court
8may enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in
9the county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county
10jail under this provision shall be separated from adults who
11are confined in the county jail in such a manner that there
12will be no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the
13juvenile and adult prisoners.
14    (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
15minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
16the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
17officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,
18and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight
19and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
20    (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
21taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under the direct and
22constant supervision of a law enforcement officer or
23correctional officer. During such time as is necessary to
24process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement
25officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound
26separation provisions shall not apply.

4minor may be a delinquent minor as described in subsection (3)

8hearing.
