The Terrebonne Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 180 Government St Gray, LA 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 Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Complex was established to offer short-term care in secured custody for juveniles in various legal statuses, including those accused, adjudicated pending court action, and awaiting transfer to another facility. The first Juvenile Detention Center in Terrebonne Parish commenced operations on September 1, 1998, accommodating 60 juveniles—20 females and 40 males. Subsequently, on May 12, 2016, the Terrebonne Parish Juvenile Justice Complex inaugurated a new facility, housing 32 beds: 8 for females and 24 for males. This modern facility, situated in Gray, Louisiana, spans 25,000 square feet and was constructed for $9 million, positioned at +10 feet above sea level.
As a vital component of public safety, the facility emphasizes its role in delivering quality care to youths within their local communities. By prioritizing the well-being of juveniles, the facility aims to facilitate positive changes for a brighter future. Key goals of the facility include providing for juveniles' basic needs, safeguarding their legal rights, addressing their physical, emotional, religious, educational, and social needs, and ensuring a safe and humane environment that prevents escape and protects juveniles from intimidation or harm.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Terrebonne Parish County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
