The Lynn W. Ross Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 2701 Kimbo Road Ft Worth, 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.
Tarrant County Juvenile Services operates the Lynn W. Ross Juvenile Detention Center, which is a 24-hour secure facility for the temporary detention of juveniles who are pending court disposition for alleged law violations or violation of conditions of probation. The center provides supervision, activities and individual as well as group counseling that benefit juveniles during their stay. Every juvenile is screened for identification of emotional and mental health concerns. Basic health care screening is also provided through an on-site medical clinic.
All juveniles admitted to detention receive educational, medical, mental health, recreational and life skills training. All youth receive a thorough orientation of the detention center rules and regulations. All youth receive academic programming provided through the Fort Worth Independent School District, including special educational services. School records are forwarded to the school where the youth will be attending once he/she is released from the detention center.
Every juvenile has opportunities to visit with immediate family members for 30 minutes a day and may have a daily five-minute telephone call with a parent or legal guardian. Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to contact the Facility Administrator at 817-838-4610 with any special needs or concerns.
