A person who had not yet turned 18 years on the day that they allegedly committed the offence is usually tried as a child. Children are not usually sentenced to adult prisons, but a child who has committed a serious offence may be ordered to be tried and sentenced in an adult court - that is, the District or Supreme Court. In this case a prison sentence may be imposed but the youth will serve that sentence in a training centre, see Young offenders [see Young Offenders Act 1993 ss 17 and 36]. The Chief Executive of the Department of Human Services can apply to the Youth Court for an order that the child be removed to a prison for the remainder of the sentence if the court is satisfied that the child is above the age of 17 and cannot be properly controlled in a training centre [see Young Offenders Act 1993 (SA) s 63].
