Court adjudicated Respondent a delinquent minor for his commission of offense of theft of property not exceeding $300 in value, and sentenced him to a year's probation with conditions including successful completion of County Detention Center treatment program. As Respondent had a legal duty to submit to state authority, as program was housed inside County Detention Center, where he was under state's physical control. Thus, time in treatment program is "custody" for sentencing credit purposes. (STEIGMANN and KNECHT, concurring.)
