The UDC - Salt Lake Valley Detention Center is within the jurisdiction of the Utah Department of Juvenile Justice located at 3450 S 900 W, Salt Lake City, 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 vital mechanism for addressing the immediate safety concerns posed by delinquent youths within the community. Designed for short-term confinement, it caters to youths awaiting adjudication, placement, or serving sentences as mandated by a Utah Juvenile Court Judge, with 11 distinct programs operational across the state. Participants engage in structured activities such as schooling, cognitive behavioral skill-building groups, and recreational pursuits, while familial involvement, including phone contact and visitation, is strongly encouraged to foster rehabilitation.

Admission into the program is governed by the Statewide Detention Admission Guidelines, which outline a comprehensive list of "Holdable Offenses." However, certain exclusionary criteria exist, including charges related to status offenses, failure to appear at court hearings, runaway incidents, and experiences of abuse or neglect, with age restrictions also in place.

With a focus on community protection and accountability, the program aims to conduct early screening and assessment to address underlying issues. Individualized lengths of stay are determined by the Utah Juvenile Court, catering to delinquent youths aged 12-17 deemed to pose a significant risk to the community. Through these targeted interventions, the program endeavors to mitigate immediate dangers while facilitating rehabilitation and eventual reintegration into society.
