The William F. James Boys Ranch is a medium to low-security detention center located at 19050 Malaguerra Ave Morgan Hill, 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 James Ranch has 96 beds for 15½ to 18 years old boys that the judge has ordered to be locked up.
The boys get tutoring to get their GED. They also get vocational (job) training. The boys take part in work programs on the ranch and other places, including the Santa Clara Valley Water District. They also do community service in the whole county.
The boys can also participate in:
Juvenile facilities overseen by Santa Clara County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
