The Clark County WA Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 500 W 11th St Vancouver, WA 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 staff monitor youth on pretrial release, prepare pre-sentence and decline reports, complete risk assessments, make recommendations to the court, facilitate the transfer of cases between Clark County Juvenile Court and other jurisdictions, and provide information and referral to victims, the community and other state and local agencies.
Intake also provides screening of misdemeanor cases which are referred to the department by law enforcement agencies. Intake staff prosecute, refer to Diversion, and/or send these cases to the Victim Impact Program for resolution.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Clark County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
