through 5035 of title 18, United States 
Code, and except as provided under clause 
(ii), in the case of a juvenile alleged to have 
committed an act of juvenile delinquency, 
the judicial officer shall release the juvenile 
to their parent, guardian, custodian, or 
other responsible party (including the direc-
tor of a shelter-care facility) upon their 
promise to bring such juvenile before the ap-
propriate court when requested by the judi-
cial officer. 
(ii) EXCEPTION.—A juvenile alleged to 
have committed an act of juvenile delin-
quency may be detained pending trial only 
if, at a hearing at which the juvenile is rep-
resented by counsel, the attorney for the 
Government shows by clear and convincing 
evidence based on individualized facts that 
detention is necessary because the juvenile’s 
release will pose a specific and substantial 
risk that the juvenile will use violent force 
against a reasonably identifiable person 
and that no conditions of release will rea-
sonably mitigate that risk, except that in no 
case may a judicial officer order the deten-
2017 
tion of a juvenile if it will compromise the 
juvenile’s access to adequate medical treat-
ment, access to medications, or ability to 
privately consult with counsel and mean-
ingfully prepare a defense.

LEAST
RESTRICTIVE
DETEN-
TION.—In the case that the judicial officer 
orders the detention of a juvenile under
