§ 2.08.150. Commitment to camp.


Latest version.
  • It shall be lawful for the courts to commit to the camp those male minor persons between the ages of eight and twenty-one years whom they have found to be delinquents as provided by law. Before any such person is conveyed to the camp, it shall be ascertained from the director whether adequate facilities are available to provide for the necessary care to such person. The director shall fix the time at which such person shall be delivered to the camp. The director shall accept such person unless there are not adequate facilities available to provide the necessary care, or there are not adequate funds available for the support of the camp or, in the opinion of the director, such person is not suitable for admission to the camp.

    The court may order, when committing a minor to the care, custody and control of the camp, the expense of his support and maintenance to be paid in whole or in part by his parents, guardian or other person liable for his support and maintenance. The moneys so ordered paid shall be paid to the director, who shall immediately deposit the sum in the county treasury to be credited to the general fund.
