The Ravalli County Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 205 Bedford St Hamilton, MT 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 Ravalli County Juvenile Detention Center is responsible for the care and custody of persons who are temporarily incarcerated as required by law. Inmates will always be treated in a humane and courteous manner without regard to personal prejudices or feelings. The Detention Center exists solely to protect and maintain the peace and security of the community.
