The Los Angeles County-Camp Holton #16 is a medium to low-security detention center located at 12651 N Little Tujunga Canyon Rd Sylmar, CA 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.
Prison camps provide treatment, care, custody, and training for the rehabilitation of delinquent minors as wards of the Juvenile Court for an average period of 20 weeks. The goal of the residential camp programs is to reunify the minor with their family, to reintegrate the minor into the community, and to assist the minor in developing the social skills and behavior management skills needed to lead a law-abiding life. The residential camps provide youth with education, medical, and mental health services. Youth also have access to structured work experiences, vocational training, specialized tutoring, athletic activities, counseling services and various types of social enrichment. Additional programming is provided by Community Based Organizations (CBO) and varies by camp as each camp is tailored to its population and purpose. Refer to each camp regarding specific programming available to that camp.
LA County Jail-Camp Holton- Parent's Handbook
Orientation - Upon arrival to a residential treatment camp, the Orientation Officer begins the orientation process with the youth. The Orientation Officer allows the youth to contact his/her Guardians and explains the Camp process to the youth. Youth is informed how to receive services, programs offered at the camp, and what is expected of the youth. The youth is provided the Rules and Rights Handbook and assigned to a Deputy Probation Officer. JCHS and DMH then complete their assessment of the youth. LACOE completes their assessment the following morning.
BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROGRAM (BMP) - The goal of the BMP is for the youth to earn greater independence and privileges during their camp stay by demonstrating progress in behavior and self-control.
The BMP Program is a point system that allows youth to earn points daily based on their behavior. If the youth earns the number of points required for the day, then the youth is eligible to receive the BMP incentive for that day. Incentives vary by camp and can include special activities, programs, and extra personals. Additionally, the number of successful days youth earns the required number of points allows the youth to be considered for an early release.
Each camp has a four-stage promotional system with specific promotional requirements for each stage. After youth earns the minimum number of points required in consecutive days, youth is eligible to promote to the next stage. As the youth progresses through the stages, youth receives greater independence and privileges. Additionally, youth at the higher stages receive greater incentives.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Los Angeles County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
