The Clackamas County OR Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 2121 Kaen Rd Portland, OR 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.
The Clackamas County youth who are placed in detention are housed at the Donald E. Long Home, a professionally staffed facility in Portland, Oregon. This facility ensures the health, safety, and security of the youth in detention. Youth are placed in detention for various reasons, typically relating to community safety, ensuring the youth's appearance in court, and holding the youth accountable for their actions.
There are specific legal standards that must be met before a youth can be placed in detention. Importantly, no youth under the age of 12 may be detained prior to a judicial review. A youth is eligible for detention if they meet one or more of the following criteria:
These criteria ensure that youth are detained only when necessary and under legal standards.
