The Dallas County- Dr. Jerome McNeil Jr. Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 2600 Lone Star Dr Dallas, 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.
The Dr. Jerome McNeil, Jr. Detention Center, situated within the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center, serves as the processing center for youth detained by law enforcement. Upon arrival, youths undergo a comprehensive intake process that includes gathering detailed information on their family background, school information, and medical and psychological histories. This information is crucial for informing court and judicial decisions regarding the youth.
The facility provides essential medical and dental care, psychological assessments, crisis management assistance, and educational services. For many of the youths processed through the detention center, this marks their first experience in a highly structured residential environment with clear behavioral expectations. This structured setting aims to support their rehabilitation and guide them towards positive behavioral changes.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Dallas County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
