When an unfit minor is in custody, immediate notification is required to be made to Juvenile Hall or Inmate Reception Center as to whether a complaint has been obtained or rejected. If the case is rejected, the minor must be returned to the Juvenile Court that made the finding of unfit before a release can be initiated.
Unfit Minors Detained in Juvenile Hall
All unfit minors detained in juvenile hall will be confined by the Probation Department at Central Juvenile Hall. Immediately upon obtaining a complaint or a rejection, the investigating detective shall call the Probation Department's movement control officer of the day at (213) 226-8608 and advise him of the arraignment date, time, and court, or notify him that the complaint was rejected.
The movement control officer of the day will arrange transportation to court through the Sheriff's Transportation Bureau or he will affect the release of the minor.
Unfit Minors Detained in County Jail
Unfit minors remanded to the custody of the Sheriff will be processed by the Inmate Reception Center at Men’s Central Jail or Century Regional Detention Center depending on their sex. Immediately upon obtaining a complaint or a rejection, the investigating detective shall notify the concerned Inmate Reception Center via JDIC requesting transportation to court for arraignment or authorizing the release of the minor.
