Juvenile cases (under 18) are handled in juvenile hall, not adult jail — and they do NOT use the bail bond system. Here's the actual release pathway.
What to know
Every scenario has specific quirks the standard bail process doesn't cover. Here are the things that actually matter:
Tip 1
Juveniles are released to a parent or guardian at a detention hearing, typically within 48 hours.
Tip 2
If the minor is filed as an adult (WIC 707), bail rules apply normally.
Tip 3
There is no bondsman role in a standard juvenile case — focus on hiring a juvenile defense attorney.
Tip 4
If your child is being held at an adult facility (rare but possible), call us — we'll walk you through the right next step.
