All detention facilities maintained and operated by the Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government, pursuant to the requirements of KRS 67.0831(1) and subject to the provisions of KRS 67.0831(3) shall receive and maintain custody of juveniles in accordance with the pre-adjudicative detention criteria as outlined on AOC Form AOC-JW-39 and the provisions of the Kentucky Revised Statutes.

When a child who is alleged to be a public offender or a youthful offender, prior to his or her arraignment in either of the juvenile sessions of Jefferson District Court, is ordered by a Judge or Trial Commissioner to be released from the Louisville Metro Youth Detention Center (LMYDC) to the custody of Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), that child must be picked up from the LMYDC as soon as practical. In any event, no such child who is ordered to be released shall remain in detention for any period exceeding twelve (12) hours, exclusive of weekends or holidays, from the time of the original order of release. This rule, while taking into consideration the special situations involved in the placing of children who are in the care and custody of CHFS, reflects the policy that children who are in the temporary custody of or committed to CHFS should not be required to spend more time in secure detention than non-CHFS involved children who are otherwise similarly situated.
