P.R. Laws tit. 24, § 6162b
If as a result of the court-ordered evaluation, the child and adolescent psychiatrist, in consultation with the inter- or multidisciplinary team, finds that the minor is chargeable or prosecutable and that he/she has a mental disorder, the court, upon finding the minor liable for an offense and ordering his/her placement, shall order that the minor be transferred to a ward at the Administration of Juvenile Institutions specialized in the treatment, care, and custody of this population. While the minor is in the custody of the Administration of Juvenile Institutions, it shall be responsible for having the minor receive the treatment, recovery and rehabilitation mental healthcare services he/she requires. Chargeable or prosecutable minors, as provided for in this section, may not be placed in institutions that do not meet the required criteria to provide specialized care to this population.
In the event that the court grants probation benefits, the court shall maintain jurisdiction over the minor and demand as a condition, among others, that the minor receive mental healthcare services.
The director of the specialized ward shall notify the court as soon as the minor is discharged from the ward, and send a copy of such notice, together with the discharge plan, to the Administration of Juvenile Institutions. After such discharge, the court shall order as it sees fit and send a copy of the order to that effect to the Administration of Juvenile Institutions.
Once the court finds that discharge is in order, the minor shall be immediately discharged.
