The Sonoma County Probation Camp is a medium to low-security detention center located at 7400 Steve Olson Lanne Forestville, 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.

Sonoma County Probation Camp is a 24-bed, three-phase, short-term correctional treatment facility under the administration of the Probation Department for 16 to 18 year old males committed by the Juvenile Court. First established in 1955, Probation Camp has a long and proud history of providing positive opportunities for the young men committed to the program, resulting in more productive citizens and safer communities in Sonoma County.
