The Juvenile Court holds a detention hearing within 48 hours after admission. The Judge decides if a youth should continue to stay in Locked Detention or be allowed to go home until arraignment on the charges. The Judge decides if the youth will be held or released. A youth is held if she/he is a danger to him or herself or the community, or is at risk to not appear in court when summoned.
