The Dallas County - Marzelle Hill Transition 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 Marzelle C. Hill Transition Center, located in the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center, offers temporary and transitional residential services for youth deemed suitable for a non-secure facility. Typically, youths awaiting permanent placement transition through Hill Center. Additionally, the center accommodates youth with special needs who are awaiting home studies. A comprehensive range of services is provided, encompassing educational, medical, psychological, and recreational opportunities, to support the youths during their stay and facilitate their smooth transition to a permanent placement.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Dallas County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility.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.
