The Maricopa County-Southeast Juvenile Detention is a medium to low-security detention center located at 1840 South Lewis St Mesa, AZ 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 Detention staffs provide a safe and secure living place for juveniles who must be detained to help maintain the safety of the community. They also lead educational and counseling sessions to give detained juveniles the tools they need to act as good citizens when they are released from detention.
There are two detention centers, the Durango Facility in Phoenix and the South East Facility in Mesa. Each center has a team of officers that screens every juvenile brought to detention to determine whether or not the juvenile should be kept in detention. If a juvenile does not need to be detained, the screening team returns him to his parent or legal guardian who is responsible for him. The screeners are on duty 24 hours a day 7 days a week. At each detention center there is a team of transportation officers, who accompany every juvenile who has to leave detention for court hearings, doctors' appointments, etc. and ensure that they are returned safely to detention.

We want to have a detention center that protects the public from juveniles who are dangerous to themselves and the community, and to give those juveniles the tools they will need to become responsible citizens when they are released from detention.
The core of detention programming is teaching and modeling Character Counts, a program used throughout the United States to promote ethical values among young people. Character Counts promotes six values, which are called "Pillars of Character."
