The Burnett-Bayland Juvenile Rehabilitation Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 6500 Chimney Rock Rd, # A Houston, TX that is operated locally by the Juvenile Justice Department and holds youths awaiting the determination of punishment for the crimes of which they are accused. Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.
The juvenile justice system differs from the adult system, focusing on rehabilitation and recognizing the developmental differences in juveniles. It aims to protect both the child and the public and helps juveniles become productive adults.
Juveniles are detained if they pose a threat, may miss court, or violate court orders. Parental involvement is crucial for effective supervision and rehabilitation.
Key differences in terminology include "taken into custody" instead of "arrest" and "supervision" instead of "probation." Referrals usually come from law enforcement, and an intake social worker decides the juvenile's placement. An inquiry can lead to dismissal, corrective action, or court involvement.
The process includes a plea hearing, possible evaluations, a pre-trial conference, a fact-finding hearing, and a dispositional hearing to determine the case's outcome. Parents may need to cover associated costs.
Intake Screening is open 24 hours and screens calls from law enforcement agencies regarding juveniles between the ages of 10 to 17 who have committed misdemeanor B or above law violations. Intake officers utilize a detention Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) to determine if a child is eligible for release to a parent or responsible adult who will return them to an assigned district court for a hearing on the merits of the case, or if the child must be held at the Juvenile Justice Center for a Detention Hearing. Detention Hearings are held within forty-eight hours of the youth’s detainment with exceptions on weekends and county holidays. At the Detention Hearing, the judge will determine if the youth will remain detained or is eligible for release pending a district court hearing for the alleged offense. Documents parents/guardians are asked to submit after their child is detained: birth certificate, immunization records, Social Security card, school records, medical insurance card and government-issued picture identification for the parents or guardians.
Status offenses such as truancy, runaway, curfew violations and Class C misdemeanors such as alcohol violations are handled by the Youth Service Center.
Court - Court Services JPOs are responsible for preparing a comprehensive profile of a juvenile pending court on his/her case for the Judge, district attorneys, defense attorneys, and other court staff. A detailed report may be used with other information, such as psychological evaluations/testing, to aid the Court in determining whether a youth can be released from detention pending court disposition or a suitable disposition upon the youth’s court appearance in the District Court. There are three Harris County Juvenile District Courts: 313th District Court, 314th District Court and 315th District Court. Upon their appearance in District Court, juveniles can be allowed to reside at home with their parents/guardians on conditions of a Deferred Adjudication Agreement, without a determination of delinquency/adjudication, depending on certain factors taken into consideration by the court such as a youth’s level of involvement in the juvenile justice system. Juveniles found to have engaged in delinquent (adjudicated) conduct may be allowed to reside at home with their parents/guardians under stringent rules of probation, placed in a residential facility, county institution, or committed to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD). In some cases, jurisdiction may be waived by the juvenile court and a transfer to the adult criminal court may be granted depending on the severity of offense(s) and the respondent’s age.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Harris County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
