The UDC - Canyonlands Youth Home is within the jurisdiction of the Utah Department of Juvenile Justice located at 244 W Old Ruin Rd, Blanding, UT.

The facility provides supervision of youth in a safe, secure and humane environment. Services for youth include education, mental health, substance abuse, and health care. Medical and mental health are contracted services. Educational services are funded by the Utah Department of Education through local school districts.

A typical day in secure detention would involve hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and court appearance as scheduled. The average length of stay in secure state detention is approximately 60 days.

The Locked Detention program serves as a crucial intervention for youths deemed an immediate threat to community safety. Offering short-term confinement, it caters to delinquent youths awaiting adjudication, placement, or sentence fulfillment as mandated by Utah Juvenile Court Judges. With 11 separate programs operating statewide, participants engage in structured activities like schooling, cognitive behavioral skill-building groups, and recreational endeavors, bolstered by strong encouragement for family involvement through phone contact and visitation.

Guided by the Statewide Detention Admission Guidelines, the program admits youths based on a comprehensive list of "Holdable Offenses." However, certain exclusionary criteria exist, including status offense charges, recent court hearing absences, runaway incidents, experiences of abuse or neglect, and age restrictions.

The program's objectives encompass community protection, youth accountability, and early screening and assessment to address underlying issues. The duration of stay is individualized for each youth by the Utah Juvenile Court, targeting delinquent youths aged 12-17 deemed a significant community risk. Through tailored interventions, the program aims to mitigate immediate dangers while fostering rehabilitation and successful community reintegration.
