• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 19: Children's
• Art.: The Colorado Juvenile Justice System

Text

Except as
otherwise required by section 19-2.5-1127 for an aggravated juvenile offender and
except as required by section 19-2.5-1123, the court may sentence the juvenile to
alternative services funded through section 19-2.5-1404 or other alternative
services programs. If a juvenile who is thirteen years of age or older fails to make
satisfactory progress in the alternative services to which the juvenile is sentenced
or if the court finds that a sentence to alternative services would be contrary to the
community interest, the court may sentence a juvenile adjudicated for an offense
that would constitute a class 3, class 4, class 5, or class 6 felony or a misdemeanor
weapons charge if committed by an adult to detention for a period not to exceed
forty-five days. Release for purposes of work, therapy, education, or other good
cause may be granted by the court. The court may not sentence to detention a
juvenile adjudicated for an offense that would constitute a class 1 or class 2 felony
if committed by an adult.
