Indiana Code Title 31. Family Law and Juvenile Law § 31-30-3-12

Sec. 12. (a) The following definitions apply throughout this section:

(b) A juvenile arrestee who is housed in a secure facility may not be held in:

unless a court finds, after a hearing, that it is in the best interests of justice for the juvenile arrestee to be housed in an adult facility or a facility permitting sight or sound contact with adult inmates.  If a court orders a juvenile arrestee to be housed in an adult facility or a facility permitting sight or sound contact with adult inmates, the court shall issue its decision in writing.

(c) In making a determination under subsection (b), the court shall consider:

(d) If a court determines it is in the best interests of justice for the juvenile arrestee to be housed in an adult facility or a facility permitting sight or sound contact with adult inmates, the court may order that the juvenile arrestee be held in an adult facility or a facility permitting sight or sound contact with adult inmates for not more than one hundred eighty (180) days.

(e) The court may extend the one hundred eighty (180) day period described in subsection (d) for one (1) or more additional sixty (60) day periods, if the court finds, in writing, that there is good cause to extend the juvenile arrestee's placement in an adult facility or a facility permitting sight or sound contact with adult inmates.  However, the juvenile arrestee may waive the good cause requirement if the juvenile arrestee prefers to keep the same placement.

(f) If the court orders a juvenile arrestee to be held under subsection (d) or (e), the court shall hold a hearing at least one (1) time every thirty (30) days to review whether it is still in the interests of justice to house the arrestee in the adult facility or the facility permitting sight or sound contact with adult inmates.
