Adds provisions relating to the detention of a juvenile

Summary

The bill requires that any child taken into custody be moved to juvenile court or handed to a juvenile officer, and that they be released unless a detention hearing is held. It caps detention at 24 hours unless a judge orders a hearing, which must occur within three days (excluding weekends and holidays). The aim is to protect juveniles’ rights and ensure swift judicial review.
