The Marin County Juvenile Hall is a medium to low-security detention center located at 16 Jeannette Prandi Way San Rafael, 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.
The Juvenile Hall provides 24 hour care to youth that have been detained under 602 or 601 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. Marin County Office of Education operates a school within Juvenile Hall and the Public Health Department has staff located within the facility to provide for medical needs. In addition to providing close supervision of detained youth, the Juvenile Hall offers a variety of recreational and support programs and on site food preparation in compliance with Title 15 (operations, staffing and training) and Title 24 (physical facility) of the California Code of Regulations. The Probation Department provides mental health services in Juvenile Hall, including an initial screening, crisis intervention and referrals to appropriate programming after release from custody. This service is integrated with the mental health program, PORTAL, which is located at Juvenile Services.
Most definitely. The Juvenile Hall operates with around the clock supervision, utilizing trained, professional group counselor staff, in conjunction with both mental and physical health professionals. Juvenile Hall staff includes mental health professionals, a nurse from the Public Health Department, and a consulting psychiatrist from the Community Mental Health Department.
You can visit your child at any time within the first 24 hours of arrest. After that, visiting times are Saturday afternoon, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM, and Wednesday evenings, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Only parents or legal guardians are allowed to visit the youth detained in Juvenile Hall.
Unless your child has been charged in the adult court, there is no bail allowed for minors in the State of California. The decisions to initially detain a child, and then how long they will remain detained, depend on many factors. Any detention lasting longer than 48 hours (not including weekends and holidays) will go through Juvenile Court and will allow you and your child legal representation.
In order to get better idea of how long your child will remain detained, we urge you to contact the Juvenile Division Probation Department at (415) 473-6659, during normal business hours.
The Marin County Office of Education operates a school inside Juvenile Hall every school day of the year. All detained youth who are 18 years of age or younger attend this school. Youth who are detained for an extended period of time can arrange to have school work from their normal schools incorporated into the Juvenile Hall academic curriculum.
