The Trinity County Juvenile Hall is a medium to low-security detention center located at 333 Tom Bell Rd Weaverville, 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.

The Juvenile Hall is a co-ed special purpose (96-hour maximum hold) facility with a rated capacity of twenty-eight; twelve double occupancy rooms and one four-person dormitory in a podular design. The facility is adjacent to Lonnie Pool Field a public airfield also known as the Weaverville Airport. This general aviation airport covers 65 acres and has one runway.

The programs are designed around evidence-based practices with a primary focus on restorative justice and seek to stabilize at-risk youth while also providing the necessary structure to ensure success at home in the community. This is accomplished through a focus on individualized comprehensive case planning in areas ranging from skill-building, vocational readiness/life skills training, academic tutoring, drug and alcohol counseling, and victim awareness and impact training.

All youth are given a physical examination within 96 hours of being admitted into the Juvenile Hall. On-going health care is overseen by a county medical public health doctor.
