The West Central Regional Juvenile Center (WCRJC) is a medium to low-security detention center located at 729 11th st Moorhead, MN 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 West Central Regional Juvenile Center (WCRJC), located in Moorhead, Minnesota, serves as a vital resource for addressing the needs of juveniles with behavioral, protection, dependency, and delinquency issues. This facility operates a coed 55-bed secure program and a coed 25-bed non-secure care program, offering tailored services that promote personal growth and community reintegration. The center is dedicated to creating a structured, supportive environment that recognizes the unique value of each individual.
The mission of the WCRJC is to provide a learning environment where the inherent values of each person are recognized, developed and matured for the betterment of the community.
