The Middle Tennessee Juvenile Detention Facility is a medium to low-security detention center located at 1272 Lawson White Dr Columbia, TN 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 Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth is the state advisory group responsible for implementing the provisions of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act in Tennessee.
The four core requirements of the act are to:
To assure compliance with these requirements, TCCY conducts periodic on-site monitoring of all jails and detention facilities in Tennessee.
TCCY also performs on-site monitoring of programs awarded funds through TCCY and distributes state and federal funds to counties and community programs to prevent delinquency or improve services for children involved with juvenile courts.
TCCY oversees the statewide and local disproportionate minority contact task forces, which work with local communities to address the overrepresentation of minorities at all applicable points of contact within the juvenile justice system. Also, in collaboration with other state agencies, the courts, schools, and community-based organizations, TCCY provides training and technical assistance on grant applications and compliance with the JJDP act.
Until July 2012, TCCY annually evaluated a representative sample of all children in state custody through the CPORT/QSR Program. A report has been produced identifying similarities between children in custody because they were adjudicated delinquent and those found to be neglected and abused.
A list of Juvenile Detention Centers, Temporary Holding Facilities and Youth Development Centers is also available.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Maury County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
