Conn. Practice Book § 30-8
Initial Order for Detention; Waiver
of Hearing
Such initial order of detention may be signed
without a hearing only if there is a written waiver
of the detention hearing by the child or youth and
the child’s or youth’s attorney and there is a finding
by the judicial authority that the circumstances
outlined in Section 30-6 pertain to the child or
youth in question. An order of detention entered
without a hearing shall authorize the detention of
the child or youth for a period not to exceed seven
days, including the date of admission, or until the
dispositional hearing is held, whichever is shorter,
and may further authorize the Juvenile Residential
Center Superintendent or a designated representative to release the child or youth to the custody of
a parent, guardian or some other suitable person,
with or without conditions of release, if detention
is no longer necessary, except that no child or
youth shall be released from a juvenile residential
center who is alleged to have committed a serious
juvenile offense except by order of a judicial
authority of the Superior Court. Such an ex parte
order of detention shall be renewable only at a
detention hearing before the judicial authority for
a period that does not exceed seven days or until
the dispositional hearing is held, whichever is
shorter.
