During the detention hearing - which is the first hearing following the arrest - the child's defense attorney may argue for pretrial release from Juvi Hall. The judge is more likely to grant release if: the child's home is stable and safe; the child follows household rules; the child's alleged offenses are not serious enough to justify incarceration; the child's family or guardians can look after him/her; the child has a clean record; and the child is not a runaway and is likely to return to all future court dates. Ultimately, the juvenile court judge decides whether minors may be released from Juvi Hall while their case is ongoing.
