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

15    supervision and shall not be permitted to come into or
16    remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.

5    with adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18
6    years of age and older who have a petition of delinquency

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
