• County: includes city and county. See California Public Utilities Code 18
• County correctional facilities: means county jail facilities, including separate facilities for the care of mentally ill inmates and persons arrested because of intoxication, but does not include county juvenile facilities. See California Penal Code 4496.04
• County juvenile facilities: means county juvenile halls, juvenile homes, ranches, or camps, and other juvenile detention facilities. See California Penal Code 4496.04
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
