The Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services is a medium to low-security detention center located at 450 H St, NW Washington, DC 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.
Along with the Youth Services Center (YSC), Court-involved youth under secure placement and committed to DYRS may also be assigned to the following secure facilities:
YSC is an 88-bed secure residential facility in northeast DC that provides youth with 24-hour supervision, custody, and care. Services include diagnostic screenings, onsite medical care, individual and group counseling, education provided by the DC Public Schools (DCPS), structured recreational activities, and family visits and engagement programs.
The Youth Services Center is a secure residential facility for detained male and female youth awaiting adjudication and/or disposition by the courts. The Youth Services Center has 24-hour supervision and comprehensive social services, including a variety of academic and experiential programs provided by District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS).
