How many days can a juvenile be held in a secure facility before a hearing?

Juveniles who are detained while a non-voluntary return is pending may be held for a maximum of 90 calendar days.  

If a home/demanding/sending state is required to return a juvenile and fails to do so within ten (10) business days, a judicial hearing shall be provided in the holding state to hear the grounds for the juvenile’s detention.

At the hearing, the court determines whether the grounds submitted justify the continued detention of the juvenile.

A juvenile may be discharged from detention to a legal guardian or his/her designee if the holding/receiving state’s court determines that further detention is not appropriate.
