Public Act 099-0254 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning courts.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by | ||||
changing Section 5-410 as follows:
| ||||
(705 ILCS 405/5-410)
| ||||
Sec. 5-410. Non-secure custody or detention.
| ||||
(1) Any minor arrested or taken into custody pursuant to | ||||
this Act who
requires care away from his or her home but who | ||||
does not require physical
restriction shall be given temporary | ||||
care in a foster family home or other
shelter facility | ||||
designated by the court.
| ||||
(2) (a) Any minor 10 years of age or older arrested
| ||||
pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to believe | ||||
that the minor
is a delinquent minor and that
(i) secured | ||||
custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the
| ||||
protection of the minor or of the person or property of | ||||
another, (ii) the minor
is likely to flee the jurisdiction of | ||||
the court, or (iii) the minor was taken
into custody under a | ||||
warrant, may be kept or detained in an authorized
detention | ||||
facility. A minor under 13 years of age shall not be admitted, | ||||
kept, or detained in a detention facility unless a local youth | ||||
service provider, including a provider through the |
Comprehensive Community Based Youth Services network, has been | ||
contacted and has not been able to accept the minor. No minor | ||
under 12 years of age shall be detained in a
county jail or a | ||
municipal lockup for more than 6 hours.
| ||
(b) The written authorization of the probation officer or | ||
detention officer
(or other public officer designated by the | ||
court in a county having
3,000,000 or more inhabitants) | ||
constitutes authority for the superintendent of
any juvenile | ||
detention home to detain and keep a minor for up to 40 hours,
| ||
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court-designated holidays. | ||
These
records shall be available to the same persons and | ||
pursuant to the same
conditions as are law enforcement records | ||
as provided in Section 5-905.
| ||
(b-4) The consultation required by subsection (b-5) shall | ||
not be applicable
if the probation officer or detention officer | ||
(or other public officer
designated
by the court in a
county | ||
having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) utilizes a scorable | ||
detention
screening instrument, which has been developed with | ||
input by the State's
Attorney, to
determine whether a minor | ||
should be detained, however, subsection (b-5) shall
still be | ||
applicable where no such screening instrument is used or where | ||
the
probation officer, detention officer (or other public | ||
officer designated by the
court in a county
having 3,000,000 or | ||
more inhabitants) deviates from the screening instrument.
| ||
(b-5) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b-4), if a | ||
probation officer
or detention officer
(or other public officer |
designated by
the court in a county having 3,000,000 or more | ||
inhabitants) does not intend to
detain a minor for an offense | ||
which constitutes one of the following offenses
he or she shall | ||
consult with the State's Attorney's Office prior to the release
| ||
of the minor: first degree murder, second degree murder, | ||
involuntary
manslaughter, criminal sexual assault, aggravated | ||
criminal sexual assault,
aggravated battery with a firearm as | ||
described in Section 12-4.2 or subdivision (e)(1), (e)(2), | ||
(e)(3), or (e)(4) of Section 12-3.05, aggravated or heinous | ||
battery involving
permanent disability or disfigurement or | ||
great bodily harm, robbery, aggravated
robbery, armed robbery, | ||
vehicular hijacking, aggravated vehicular hijacking,
vehicular | ||
invasion, arson, aggravated arson, kidnapping, aggravated | ||
kidnapping,
home invasion, burglary, or residential burglary.
| ||
(c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or | ||
(e), no minor
shall
be detained in a county jail or municipal | ||
lockup for more than 12 hours, unless
the offense is a crime of | ||
violence in which case the minor may be detained up
to 24 | ||
hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence" | ||
has the
meaning
ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the | ||
Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and
Dependency Act.
| ||
(i) The
period of detention is deemed to have begun | ||
once the minor has been placed in a
locked room or cell or | ||
handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing
a | ||
county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a | ||
minor is not
considered to be time in detention or secure |
custody.
| ||
(ii) Any minor so
confined shall be under periodic | ||
supervision and shall not be permitted to come
into or | ||
remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
| ||
(iii) Upon
placement in secure custody in a jail or | ||
lockup, the
minor shall be informed of the purpose of the | ||
detention, the time it is
expected to last and the fact | ||
that it cannot exceed the time specified under
this Act.
| ||
(iv) A log shall
be kept which shows the offense which | ||
is the basis for the detention, the
reasons and | ||
circumstances for the decision to detain and the length of | ||
time the
minor was in detention.
| ||
(v) Violation of the time limit on detention
in a | ||
county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of | ||
itself, render
inadmissible evidence obtained as a result | ||
of the violation of this
time limit. Minors under 18 years | ||
of age shall be kept separate from confined
adults and may | ||
not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or yard with
| ||
adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18 years | ||
of age and older
who have a petition of delinquency filed | ||
against them may be
confined in an
adult detention | ||
facility.
In making a determination whether to confine a | ||
person 18 years of age or
older
who has a petition of | ||
delinquency filed against the person, these factors,
among | ||
other matters, shall be considered:
| ||
(A) The age of the person;
|
(B) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of | ||
the person;
| ||
(C) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the | ||
person; and
| ||
(D) Any mental health or educational history of the | ||
person, or both.
| ||
(d) (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in a | ||
county jail
in a
county with a population below 3,000,000 | ||
inhabitants, then the minor's
confinement shall be implemented | ||
in such a manner that there will be no contact
by sight, sound | ||
or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors
12 | ||
years of age or older must be kept separate from confined | ||
adults and may not
at any time
be kept in the same cell, room, | ||
or yard with confined adults. This paragraph
(d)(i) shall only | ||
apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and
shall | ||
not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court | ||
designated
holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time | ||
period, county jails shall
comply with all monitoring standards | ||
adopted by the Department of
Corrections and training standards | ||
approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement
Training Standards | ||
Board.
| ||
(ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older, | ||
after the time
period
prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this | ||
subsection (2) of this Section but not
exceeding 7 days | ||
including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays pending an
| ||
adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all |
temporary detention
standards adopted by the Department of | ||
Corrections and training standards
approved by the Illinois Law | ||
Enforcement Training Standards Board.
| ||
(iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older, | ||
after the time
period prescribed in paragraphs (d)(i) and | ||
(d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of
this
Section, county jails | ||
shall comply with all county juvenile detention standards | ||
adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
| ||
(e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is | ||
prosecuted under the
criminal laws of this State,
the court may | ||
enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined
in the | ||
county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail | ||
under
this provision shall be separated from adults who are | ||
confined in the county
jail in such a manner that there will be | ||
no contact by sight, sound or
otherwise between the juvenile | ||
and adult prisoners.
| ||
(f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the | ||
minor may be taken
to a county jail or municipal lockup under | ||
the direct and constant supervision
of a juvenile police | ||
officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a
lineup, | ||
and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight | ||
and sound
separation provisions shall not apply.
| ||
(g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be | ||
taken to a County
Jail or municipal lockup under the direct and | ||
constant supervision of a law
enforcement officer or | ||
correctional officer. During such time as is necessary
to |
process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement | ||
officer or
correctional officer, the sight and sound separation | ||
provisions shall not
apply.
| ||
(3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such | ||
other public
officer designated by the court in a county having | ||
3,000,000 or more
inhabitants) determines that the minor may be | ||
a delinquent minor as described
in subsection (3) of Section | ||
5-105, and should be retained in custody but does
not require
| ||
physical restriction, the minor may be placed in non-secure | ||
custody for up to
40 hours pending a detention hearing.
| ||
(4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring | ||
secure
detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his | ||
or her parent or
guardian subject to such conditions as the | ||
court may impose.
| ||
(5) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||
apply to a minor who has been arrested or taken into custody on | ||
or after January 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act | ||
98-61). | ||
