§ 510.15  Commitment of principal under sixteen.
    1.  When  a  principal who is under the age of sixteen is committed to
  the custody of the sheriff the court must direct that the  principal  be
  taken to and lodged in a place certified by the state division for youth
  as  a  juvenile detention facility for the reception of children.  Where
  such a direction is made the sheriff  shall  deliver  the  principal  in
  accordance therewith and such person shall although lodged and cared for
  in  a  juvenile  detention  facility  continue to be deemed to be in the
  custody of the sheriff.  No principal under the age of sixteen  to  whom
  the  provisions  of  this  section  may  apply  shall be detained in any
  prison, jail, lockup, or other place used  for  adults  convicted  of  a
  crime or under arrest and charged with the commission of a crime without
  the  approval  of  the  state  division  for  youth  in the case of each
  principal and the statement of its reasons therefor.  The sheriff  shall
  not  be  liable for any acts done to or by such principal resulting from
  negligence in the detention of and care for  such  principal,  when  the
  principal is not in the actual custody of the sheriff.
    2.  Except  upon  consent of the defendant or for good cause shown, in
  any case in which a  new  securing  order  is  issued  for  a  principal
  previously  committed  to  the  custody  of the sheriff pursuant to this
  section, such order shall further direct  the  sheriff  to  deliver  the
  principal  from  a  juvenile  detention  facility to the person or place
  specified in the order.
