PUBLIC ACT 254 of 1996 (S.B. 724)
 
   Section 1.  Section 27a of chapter IV of Act No. 175 of the Public Acts of 
1927, as added by Act No. 67 of the Public Acts of 1988, being section 764.27a 
of the Michigan Compiled Laws, is amended to read as follows: 
  
                                 CHAPTER IV 
 
   Sec. 27a. (1) A juvenile, other than a juvenile confined under subsection 
(3), shall not be confined in a police station, prison, jail, lock-up, or 
reformatory, or be transported with, or compelled or permitted to associate or 
mingle with, criminal persons while awaiting trial. 
                                                                 
 
                                                                                 
   (2) A juvenile, other than a juvenile confined under subsection (3), whose 
habits or conduct are considered to be a menace to other children, or who may 
not otherwise be safely detained, may be ordered by a court to be placed in a 
jail or other place of detention for adults, but in a room or ward out of sight  
and sound from adults. 
 
   (3) A juvenile or individual less than 17 years of age who is under the 
jurisdiction of the circuit court or recorder's court of the city of Detroit for 
committing a felony may be confined in the county jail pending trial.  An 
individual less than 17 years of age who is under the jurisdiction of the 
probate court for committing a felony may be held in the county jail pending 
trial if the case is designated by the court under section 2d of chapter XIIA of 
Act No. 288 of the Public Acts of 1939, being section 712A.2d of the Michigan 
Compiled Laws, as a case in which the individual is to be tried in the same 
manner as an adult and the court has determined that there is probable cause to  
believe that the felony was committed and that there is probable cause to 
believe the individual committed that felony.  If a juvenile or individual less  
than 17 years of age is confined in the county jail under this subsection, the 
juvenile or individual less than 17 years of age shall be held physically 
separate from adult prisoners. A juvenile or individual less than 17 years of 
age shall not be confined in the county jail under this subsection without the 
prior approval of the county sheriff.  As used in this subsection, "felony" 
                                                                 
 
                                                                                 
means a crime that is designated by law as a felony or that is punishable by 
imprisonment for more than 1 year. 
 
   (4) The court, upon motion of a juvenile or individual less than 17 years of  
age who is subject to confinement under subsection (3) may, for good cause 
shown, order the juvenile or individual less than 17 years of age to be confined 
as otherwise provided by law. 
 
   (5) If a person is convicted of a crime within this state and has served time 
in a juvenile facility before sentencing because of being denied or being unable 
to furnish bond for the offense of which he or she is convicted, the trial court 
in imposing sentence shall specifically grant credit against the sentence for 
time served in a juvenile facility before sentencing.
