The Santa Clara County - Juvenile Hall is a medium to low-security detention center located at 840 Guadalupe Parkway San Jose, 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.
Juvenile Hall has 390 beds. Both boys and girls stay here while they wait for the Court to decide their cases. There are different “living units.” The unit where you stay depends on your age, history and what you’re charged with.
Juvenile Hall has a Mental Health Clinic, a Medical Clinic, and religious services. Minors go to a county school in Juvenile Hall.
