7-03/060.33 Juveniles Remanded to the Custody of the Sheriff



It is the policy of the Court that when minors are found unfit and the Court orders housing in County Jail, said minor shall not be returned to custody with other juveniles, but shall be remanded forthwith to the custody of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

In order to facilitate the transfer of physical custody of the minor, the Court Clerk will prepare the Unfit Minute Order and the Temporary Commitment (blue) form indicating that the Sheriff is directed to transfer said minor to the County Jail under the custody of the Sheriff.

The Court Probation Officer will complete the Unfit Minor Transfer form and deliver it to the Bailiff.

The Bailiff will deliver the MINUTE ORDER, the REMAND ORDER and the UNFIT MINOR TRANSFER form to the Sheriff's Court Lockup.

The Court Lockup Deputy will present the three forms along with the juvenile to the Transportation Bureau Crew, who will forward the same to Inmate Reception Center. If there are any questions, contact the Watch Sergeant prior to transporting the juvenile.
