The Jackson County Youth Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 930 Fleming Ave Jackson, MI 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 Youth Center is a 50-bed juvenile facility that caters to the needs of court-involved delinquents. We are part of the Circuit Court Family Division within county government. The Jackson County Youth Center houses two programs: Detention and the Residential Treatment Program.
The Jackson County Youth Center (JCYC) operates a 24-bed juvenile detention unit which houses juvenile offenders who are involved in the criminal court system and have been ordered by the Jackson County Circuit-Family-Probate Court. The unit has an average length of stay between15 and 20 days with an average daily population of around 21.
The unit is one component of the Youth Center and strictly adheres to the Mission and Vision statements of the Center. While detained on the unit youth are provided a safe, supportive, and structured environment while in our care. All residents are closely monitored 24 hours a day by our highly professional staff.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Jackson County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
