Detention Services provides temporary care in a physically-restricting, 24-hour facility for delinquent youth who pose a danger to others and who are ineligible for placements offering a lesser degree of restrictiveness.  This temporary care protects three principle rights:

• The Community's right to immediate protection from the youth

• The youth's right to be detained in an environment conductive to normal growth and development; and

• The court's right to immediate access to the youth for court hearings

Detention offers mandated levels of programming, including group work, education, recreation, counseling and medical services.
