|
| | All court-ordered and court-related transportation of juvenile | detainees to and from the Southern Maine Juvenile Facility | between a correctional facility authorized by the department to | house juvenile detainees and a courthouse is the responsibility | of the sheriff of the county in which the court is located. |
|
