1    (705 ILCS 405/5-410)
2    Sec. 5-410. Non-secure custody or detention.
3    (1) Placement of a minor away from his or her home must be

5Any minor arrested or taken into custody pursuant to this Act
6who requires care away from his or her home but who does not
7require physical restriction shall be given temporary care in
8a foster family home or other shelter facility designated by
9the court.
10    (2) (a) Any minor 14 10 years of age or older arrested
11pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to believe
12that the minor is a delinquent minor and that (i) secure
13custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity, in
14light of a serious threat to the physical safety of a person or
15persons in the community or in order to secure the presence of
16the minor at the next hearing, as evidenced by a demonstrable
17record of willful failure to appear at a scheduled court
18hearing within the past 12 months, may be kept or detained in

14minor or of the person or property of another.
15    (b) The written authorization of the probation officer or
16detention officer (or other public officer designated by the
17court in a county having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants)

9screening instrument.
10    (b-5) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b-4), if a
11probation officer or detention officer (or other public

1    (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or
2(e), no minor shall be detained in a county jail or municipal
3lockup for more than 12 hours, unless the offense is a crime of
4violence in which case the minor may be detained up to 24
5hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence"
6has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the
7Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act.
8        (i) The period of detention is deemed to have begun
9    once the minor has been placed in a locked room or cell or
10    handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing a
11    county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a
12    minor is not considered to be time in detention or secure
13    custody.
14        (ii) Any minor so confined shall be under periodic
15    supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
16    remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
17        (iii) Upon placement in secure custody in a jail or

20    that it cannot exceed the time specified under this Act.
21        (iv) A log shall be kept which shows the offense which
22    is the basis for the detention, the reasons and
23    circumstances for the decision to detain, and the length
24    of time the minor was in detention.
25        (v) Violation of the time limit on detention in a
26    county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of

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

 

 

10300HB2347ham001- 9 -LRB103 28294 RLC 58401 a

1apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and shall
2not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
3court-designated holidays. To accept or hold minors during
4this time period, county jails shall comply with all
5monitoring standards adopted by the Department of Corrections
6and training standards approved by the Illinois Law
7Enforcement Training Standards Board.
8    (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older,
9after the time period prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this

13temporary detention standards adopted by the Department of
14Corrections and training standards approved by the Illinois
15Law Enforcement Training Standards Board.
16    (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older,
17after the time period prescribed in paragraphs (d)(i) and
18(d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of this Section, county jails
19shall comply with all county juvenile detention standards
20adopted by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
21    (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is
22prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State, the court
23may enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined in
24the county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county
25jail under this provision shall be separated from adults who
26are confined in the county jail in such a manner that there

 

 

10300HB2347ham001- 10 -LRB103 28294 RLC 58401 a

1will be no contact by sight, sound or otherwise between the
2juvenile and adult prisoners.
3    (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the
4minor may be taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under
5the direct and constant supervision of a juvenile police
6officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a lineup,
7and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight
8and sound separation provisions shall not apply.
9    (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be
10taken to a county jail or municipal lockup under the direct and
11constant supervision of a law enforcement officer or
12correctional officer. During such time as is necessary to
13process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement
14officer or correctional officer, the sight and sound
15separation provisions shall not apply.
16    (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such
17other public officer designated by the court in a county
18having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) determines that the
19minor may be a delinquent minor as described in subsection (3)
20of Section 5-105, and should be retained in custody but does
21not require physical restriction, the minor may be placed in
22non-secure custody for up to 40 hours pending a detention
23hearing.
24    (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring
25secure detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his

8    Sec. 5-710. Kinds of sentencing orders.
9    (1) The following kinds of sentencing orders may be made
10in respect of wards of the court:
11        (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, and
12    5-815, a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may
13    be:
14            (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
15        released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
16        custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
17        is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
18        under this subsection and who is found to be a
19        delinquent for an offense which is first degree
20        murder, a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be
21        placed on probation;
22            (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with
23        or without also being put on probation or conditional
24        discharge;
25            (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse

2        participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
3            (iv) on and after January 1, 2015 (the effective
4        date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1, 2017,
5        placed in the guardianship of the Department of
6        Children and Family Services, but only if the
7        delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or, pursuant
8        to Article II of this Act, a minor under the age of 18
9        for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
10        dependency exists. On and after January 1, 2017,
11        placed in the guardianship of the Department of
12        Children and Family Services, but only if the
13        delinquent minor is under 15 years of age or, pursuant
14        to Article II of this Act, a minor for whom an
15        independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
16        exists. An independent basis exists when the
17        allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
18        dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident,
19        or circumstances which give rise to a charge or
20        adjudication of delinquency;
21            (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
22        30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
23        or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other

2        limitation may be extended by further order of the
3        court for a minor under age 15 committed to the
4        Department of Children and Family Services if the
5        court finds that the minor is a danger to himself or
6        others. The minor shall be given credit on the
7        sentencing order of detention for time spent in
8        detention under Sections 5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720
9        of this Article as a result of the offense for which
10        the sentencing order was imposed. The court may grant
11        credit on a sentencing order of detention entered
12        under a violation of probation or violation of
13        conditional discharge under Section 5-720 of this
14        Article for time spent in detention before the filing
15        of the petition alleging the violation. A minor shall
16        not be deprived of credit for time spent in detention
17        before the filing of a violation of probation or
18        conditional discharge alleging the same or related act
19        or acts. The limitation that the minor shall only be
20        placed in a juvenile detention home does not apply as
21        follows:
22            Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
23        petition of delinquency filed against them may be
24        confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
25        determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
26        age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed

1        against the person, these factors, among other
2        matters, shall be considered:
3                (A) the age of the person;
4                (B) any previous delinquent or criminal
5            history of the person;
6                (C) any previous abuse or neglect history of
7            the person;
8                (D) any mental health history of the person;
9            and
10                (E) any educational history of the person;
11            (vi) ordered partially or completely emancipated
12        in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
13        of Minors Act;
14            (vii) subject to having his or her driver's
15        license or driving privileges suspended for such time
16        as determined by the court but only until he or she
17        attains 18 years of age;
18            (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
19        and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
20        Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of
21        incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
22        of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
23        adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer
24        than upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision
25        (viii) notwithstanding any contrary provision of the
26        law;

 

 

10300HB2347ham001- 15 -LRB103 28294 RLC 58401 a

1            (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other
2        procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a
3        street gang removed from his or her body; or
4            (x) placed in electronic monitoring or home
5        detention under Part 7A of this Article.
6        (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
7    Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
8    minor is at least 14 13 years and under 20 years of age,
9    provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile
10    Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of
11    a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
12    include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits
13    the minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the
14    Unified Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor
15    is in custody before being released upon the request of a
16    parent, guardian or legal custodian shall also be
17    considered as time spent in custody.
18        (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
19    which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
20    Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
21    Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of
22    the court, the court may enter a disposition order
23    requiring the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or
24    treatment in a substance use disorder treatment program
25    approved by the Department of Human Services.
26    (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the

 

 

10300HB2347ham001- 16 -LRB103 28294 RLC 58401 a

2supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
3protection under Section 5-730.
4    (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it
5does not operate to close proceedings on the pending petition,
6but is subject to modification until final closing and
7discharge of the proceedings under Section 5-750.
8    (4) In addition to any other sentence, the court may order
9any minor found to be delinquent to make restitution, in
10monetary or non-monetary form, under the terms and conditions
11of Section 5-5-6 of the Unified Code of Corrections, except
12that the "presentencing hearing" referred to in that Section
13shall be the sentencing hearing for purposes of this Section.
14The parent, guardian or legal custodian of the minor may be
15ordered by the court to pay some or all of the restitution on
16the minor's behalf, pursuant to the Parental Responsibility
17Law. The State's Attorney is authorized to act on behalf of any
18victim in seeking restitution in proceedings under this
19Section, up to the maximum amount allowed in Section 5 of the
20Parental Responsibility Law.
21    (5) Any sentencing order where the minor is committed or
22placed in accordance with Section 5-740 shall provide for the
23parents or guardian of the estate of the minor to pay to the

25sums as are determined by the custodian or guardian of the

1payments may not exceed the maximum amounts provided for by
2Section 9.1 of the Children and Family Services Act.
3    (6) Whenever the sentencing order requires the minor to
4attend school or participate in a program of training, the
5truant officer or designated school official shall regularly
6report to the court if the minor is a chronic or habitual
7truant under Section 26-2a of the School Code. Notwithstanding
8any other provision of this Act, in instances in which
9educational services are to be provided to a minor in a
10residential facility where the minor has been placed by the
11court, costs incurred in the provision of those educational
12services must be allocated based on the requirements of the
13School Code.
14    (7) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
15Department of Juvenile Justice for a period of time in excess
16of that period for which an adult could be committed for the
17same act. The court shall include in the sentencing order a
18limitation on the period of confinement not to exceed the
19maximum period of imprisonment the court could impose under
20Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
21    (7.5) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
22Department of Juvenile Justice or placed in detention when the
23act for which the minor was adjudicated delinquent would not
24be illegal if committed by an adult.
25    (7.6) In no event shall a guilty minor be committed to the
26Department of Juvenile Justice for an offense which is a Class
