第十七条の四(少年鑑別所送致の場合の仮収容)

If there are circumstances under which immediate custody in a juvenile classification home is found extremely difficult, following the implementation of the measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), item (ii), the family court may, by a ruling, provisionally detain the juvenile to the nearest juvenile training school or to a specially separated place inside the nearest penal institution; provided, however, that the period must not exceed 72 hours from commencement of detention.

家庭裁判所は、第十七条第一項第二号の措置をとつた場合において、直ちに少年鑑別所に収容することが著しく困難であると認める事情があるときは、決定をもつて、少年を仮に最寄りの少年院又は刑事施設の特に区別した場所に収容することができる。ただし、その期間は、収容した時から七十二時間を超えることができない。

In case of an emergency, the presiding judge may take the dispositions stated in the preceding paragraph or have a member from a panel of judges do it.

裁判長は、急速を要する場合には、前項の処分をし、又は合議体の構成員にこれをさせることができる。

The period of detention pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) is deemed to be the period of detention in a juvenile classification home by the measures prescribed in item (ii) of paragraph (1) of Article 17; the period prescribed in paragraph (3) of that Article is to begin from the day of detention in the juvenile training school or penal institution.

第一項の規定による収容の期間は、これを第十七条第一項第二号の措置により少年鑑別所に収容した期間とみなし、同条第三項の期間は、少年院又は刑事施設に収容した日から、これを起算する。

If the judge detained a juvenile pursuant to paragraph (1) upon request prescribed in the provisions of Article 43, paragraph (1), the detention is deemed to be the detention prescribed in paragraph (1) if the case is subsequently referred to the family court.

裁判官が第四十三条第一項の請求のあつた事件につき、第一項の収容をした場合において、事件が家庭裁判所に送致されたときは、その収容は、これを第一項の規定による収容とみなす。
