The Marion County OR Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 2970 Center St NE Salem, OR 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 Department plays a crucial role in delivering accountability, interventions, and fostering positive pro-social skill development for youth and families, aiming to mitigate community risk and enhance public safety. Building upon the foundation laid by early childhood prevention and intervention efforts, the Department focuses on addressing high-risk youth behaviors, minimizing victim and community impact, and diverting youth away from further involvement in the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems.

Responsibilities of the Juvenile Department include processing juvenile delinquency referrals from law enforcement concerning youth accused of criminal acts. Additionally, the Department serves as a resource for law enforcement, schools, and probation officers, offering support for youth aged twelve and under experiencing significant challenges and at risk of involvement in the juvenile justice system. Through its Family Support program, the Department provides targeted interventions to improve family dynamics, reduce risk factors, enhance school engagement, mitigate behavioral issues, and promote positive peer relationships and activities.
