The Dallas County - Lyle B. Medlock Treatment is a medium to low-security detention center located at 1566 E Langdon Rd 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 Lyle B. Medlock Residential Treatment Center, situated in southern Dallas County, provides secure placement and highly structured care for male youth aged 13 to 17 who are court-ordered into the facility. With a capacity to accommodate 72 residents, Medlock mandates participation in group, individual, and life-skills counseling. The youth also engage in drug education and various recreational activities. Additional programs within the facility focus on developing basic skills, including health, hygiene, independent living, and employment, ensuring comprehensive care and preparation for future independence.
