The Washtenaw County Youth Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 4125 Washtenaw Ave Ann Arbor, MI 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 Washtenaw County Youth Center, a division of Washtenaw County Children's Services, is responsible for providing temporary custody and care for juveniles in a safe and secure setting. Juveniles that are placed in our Youth Center are temporarily detained pending disposition of court programs, or often awaiting transfer to another facility or placement that cannot be served in an open setting. The Youth Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 365 days per year.
The Youth Center asks that you read the handbook so you may have a safe and positive visiting experience.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Washtenaw County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
All personal visitors must be approved by your child's Probation Officer and are limited to parents, grandparents, or guardians whose rights have not been terminated. Visitation will be denied to parents/ guardians if the court record / social file contains documentation that visitation is detrimental to the youth. Only two people ages 21 and over may visit at a time.
