At least once each year, the Department of Juvenile Justice must inspect each juvenile detention facility for compliance with the standards and procedures established. The results of the inspection must be made available by the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, for public inspection. If any county jail or juvenile detention facility does not comply with the standards and procedures established, the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, must give notice to the county board and the sheriff of such noncompliance, specifying the particular standards and procedures that have not been met by the county jail or juvenile detention facility. If the county jail or juvenile detention facility is not in compliance with the standards and procedures when 6 months have elapsed from the giving of such notice, the Director of Corrections or the Director of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, may petition the appropriate court for an order requiring the jail or juvenile detention facility to comply with the standards and procedures established by the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice, as the case may be, or for other appropriate relief.
