Within 24 hours of custody, juveniles undergo a detention hearing before a judge, who determines the necessity of continued detention based on specific statutory criteria.
Detention centers prioritize providing a secure environment for detained youth, offering a spectrum of services including educational assessments, full-time schooling funded by the Department of Education through local school districts, and medical, substance abuse, and mental health services, including screenings, crisis intervention, and stabilization.
Youths in secure detention are deemed risks to public safety and are required to remain in physically secure facilities pending court proceedings. However, those charged with minor offenses and assessed as low-risk may be released to their parents or guardians.
Structured recreational activities are provided daily for all youth, with optional participation in religious services. The primary aim of detention centers is to rehabilitate youth and prepare them for reintegration into the community.

Parents, grandparents, and legal guardians are approved visitors. Others may only visit if so ordered by the court or specifically approved by the Superintendent or designee. A youth's assigned Juvenile Probation Officer should be contacted to approve both visitation list additions and special visitation arrangements.
Legal counsel, probation, law enforcement, clergy, and other professionals may visit youth outside of regularly established visitation times as necessary and are subject to any requirements regarding signing in and contraband.
All visitors are subject to electronic search. Visitors shall not bring personal items (e.g. keys, purses, packages, etc.) into the secure area. The introduction of any unauthorized items into a detention facility is a 3rd-degree felony.
