1 (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
2 once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
3 handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
4 county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
5 minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
6 custody.
7 (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
8 supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
9 remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
10 (iii) Upon placement in secure custody in a jail or
11 lockup, the minor shall be informed of the purpose of the
12 detention, the time it is expected to last and the fact
13 that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
14 (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
15 is the basis for the detention, the reasons and

24 with adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18

6 (B) any previous delinquent or criminal history of
7 the person;
8 (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of the
9 person; and
10 (D) any mental health or educational history of

12 (d) (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in
13 a county jail in a county with a population below 3,000,000
14 inhabitants, then the minor's confinement shall be implemented
15 in such a manner that there will be no contact by sight, sound,
16 or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors 12
17 years of age or older must be kept separate from confined
18 adults and may not at any time be kept in the same cell, room,
19 or yard with confined adults. This paragraph (d)(i) shall only
20 apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
21 not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and

6 temporary detention standards adopted by the Department of
7 Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois
8 Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.
9 (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,
10 after the time period prescribed in paragraphs (d)(i) and
11 (d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of this Section, county jails
12 shall comply with all county juvenile detention standards
13 adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
14 (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is
15 prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State, the court
16 may enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in
17 the county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county
18 jail under this provision shall be separated from adults who
19 are confined in the county jail in such a manner that there
20 will be no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the
21 juvenile and adult prisoners.
22 (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
23 minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under

7 officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound
8 separation provisions shall not apply.
9 (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such
10 other public officer designated by the court in a county
11 having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) determines that the
12 minor may be a delinquent minor as described in subsection (3)
13 of Section 5-105, and should be retained in custody but does
14 not require physical restriction, the minor may be placed in
15 non-secure custody for up to 40 hours pending a detention
16 hearing.
17 (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring
18 secure detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his
19 or her parent or guardian subject to such conditions as the
20 court may impose.
21 (5) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61
22 apply to a minor who has been arrested or taken into custody on
23 or after January 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
24 98-61).
