Under what circumstances must a juvenile be returned using ICJ processes?

ICJ returns are generally required when a juvenile from another state is detained, including:

  • non-delinquent youths and status offenders who runaway;
  • accused delinquents and status offenders;
  • delinquent juveniles who escape, abscond, or flee to another state; and
  • juveniles under Compact supervision whether the transfer of supervision has failed.
