An arrested juvenile is brought to Juvenile Hall for booking
What It Means to be Booked & Admitted Into Juvenile Hall
It means that a police or other law enforcement agency has alleged the minor has committed a criminal offense and has brought that young person to Juvenile Hall for admission. If admitted, the juvenile loses the freedom to come and go, and must conform to all rules and regulations of the institution.
Decisions on whether to formally detain the youth pending a hearing in front of a Juvenile Court judge are made after the booking procedure.
