1  violence in which case the minor may be detained up to 24
2  hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence"
3  has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
4  Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
5  (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
6  once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
7  handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
8  county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
9  minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
10  custody.
11  (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
12  supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
13  remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
14  (iii) Upon placement in secure custody in a jail or
15  lockup, the minor shall be informed of the purpose of the
16  detention, the time it is expected to last and the fact
17  that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
18  (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
19  is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
20  circumstances for the decision to detain, and the length
21  of time the minor was in detention.
22  (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
23  county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of
24  itself, render inadmissible evidence obtained as a result
25  of the violation of this time limit. Minors under 18 years
26  of age shall be kept separate from confined adults and may

1  not at any time be kept in the same cell, room, or yard
2  with adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18
3  years of age and older who have a petition of delinquency
4  filed against them may be confined in an adult detention
5  facility. In making a determination whether to confine a
6  person 18 years of age or older who has a petition of
7  delinquency filed against the person, these factors, among
8  other matters, shall be considered:
9  (A) the age of the person;
10  (B) any previous delinquent or criminal history of
11  the person;
12  (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of the
13  person; and
14  (D) any mental health or educational history of
15  the person, or both.
16  (d) (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in
17  a county jail in a county with a population below 3,000,000
18  inhabitants, then the minor's confinement shall be implemented
19  in such a manner that there will be no contact by sight, sound,
20  or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. If a
21  person 18 years of age or older is confined in a county jail
22  for any matter or proceeding under this Act, the provision of
23  this paragraph (d) that the minor's confinement shall be
24  implemented in such a manner that there will be no contact by
25  sight, sound, or otherwise between the minor and adult
26  prisoners does not apply. Minors 12 years of age or older must

7  shall comply with all monitoring standards adopted by the
8  Department of Corrections and training standards approved by
9  the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.
10  (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,
11  after the time period prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this
12  subsection (2) of this Section but not exceeding 7 days
13  including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays pending an
14  adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all
15  temporary detention standards adopted by the Department of
16  Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois
17  Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.
18  (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,

22  adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
23  (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is
24  prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State, the court
25  may enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in
26  the county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county

2  are confined in the county jail in such a manner that there
3  will be no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the
4  juvenile and adult prisoners.
5  (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
6  minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
7  the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
8  officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,
9  and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight
10  and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
11  (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
12  taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under the direct and
13  constant supervision of a law enforcement officer or
14  correctional officer. During such time as is necessary to
15  process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement
16  officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound
17  separation provisions shall not apply.
18  (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such
19  other public officer designated by the court in a county
20  having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) determines that the
21  minor may be a delinquent minor as described in subsection (3)
22  of Section 5-105, and should be retained in custody but does
23  not require physical restriction, the minor may be placed in
24  non-secure custody for up to 40 hours pending a detention
25  hearing.
26  (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring
