In re Kenny A

In In re Kenny A. (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 1, the minor had reached the age of 18 by the time of the dispositional hearing. The trial court therefore committed him to the county jail. The minor also argued "that if his commitment to county jail is proper, he is entitled to earn good time/work time credits under Penal Code section 4019." ( Id. at p. 8.) The Court noted that the minor was not serving a jail sentence "as a condition of probation after suspension of imposition of a sentence or suspension of execution of sentence, in a criminal action or proceeding" ( 4019, subd. (a)(2)), since the jail sentence was imposed in a juvenile proceeding. We explained that "equal protection may not be violated by denying wards of the juvenile court conduct credits that may be earned by adults." ( Kenny A., supra, 79 Cal.App.4th at p. 8.)
