• if they are committed by a juvenile court. • if they are tried as an adult and committed by a criminal court; or • if they are tried as an adult and committed to Adult Programs and Adult Operations, but ordered housed in a DJJ facility. These are called “M-cases.” The DJJ houses offenders between the ages of 12-25. Offenders that have been committed to CDC may be transferred to an adult facility on or before their 18th birthday. The District Attorney’s Office or the Probation Department in the county from which the offender was committed can provide you with information regarding why the offender was sent to the DJJ.
