Custody Review Board
The Custody Review Board (CRB) reviews and makes recommendations on the placement of young people in custody or detention in Ontario
Youth in custody are serving a court-ordered sentence. Youth in detention are being held temporarily (e.g., after arrest or before trial) while awaiting court proceedings or a decision on release.
A youth in custody and in detention can apply to the CRB for:
- a review of the youth justice placement where they are being held or transferred to
- a review of their transfer from a place of open custody to a place of secure custody
- a review of the decision by the Provincial Director to deny their request for a temporary release or reintegration leave.
To file your application with the CRB, call 416-327-4673 or 1-888-728-8823 and speak to a Case Processing Officer who will take your details.
