2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 46b-141a. Placement of delinquent child in alternative incarceration program.
Sec. 46b-141a. Placement of delinquent child in alternative incarceration program. (a) Whenever a child is convicted as delinquent, the court, in lieu of committing
such child to the Department of Children and Families or to a juvenile detention center,
may, in its discretion, order an assessment for placement in an alternative incarceration
program to be conducted by the Court Support Services Division. If the Court Support
Services Division recommends placement in an alternative incarceration program, it
shall also submit to the court a proposed alternative incarceration plan. Upon completion
of the assessment, the court shall determine whether such child shall be ordered to
participate in such program as an alternative to commitment. If the court determines
that the child shall participate in such program, the court shall suspend any commitment
to the Department of Children and Families or to a juvenile detention center and shall
make participation in the alternative incarceration program a condition of probation.
