	Criminal Appeal: Juvenile Delinquency
		We conclude that when a ward of the juvenile court who is 19 years of age or older violates probation, the juvenile delinquency laws allow the ward to be detained in, and ultimately confined in, an adult detention facility as punishment for the violation of probation.
		As we will explain, when the juvenile court has retained jurisdiction over a ward who is 19 or older and is alleged to have violated terms of his or her probation, the ward may not be directly detained in a local adult detention facility pending the probation revocation hearing.
		However, section 208.5 authorizes the juvenile court to order the ward detained in a juvenile facility and then, upon recommendation of the probation officer, delivered to a local adult detention facility until the probation revocation hearing.
