The Williamson County TX Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 200 Wilco Way Georgetown, TX 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.
START Program
The START Program is a half day educational program offered at no-charge and open to all members of the community, juvenile offenders, parents, and at-risk kids.
START is facilitated by the Williamson County Juvenile Services Prevention Specialist Doug Hundemer. Attendees are provided with an overview of the Williamson County Juvenile Justice Center, the Texas Juvenile Justice System, and the Williamson County residential programs.
Although many of the participants come as a result of referrals due to the youth's involvement with the police, juvenile detention, or chronic school behavior issues, the START program is also offered for families and youth stakeholders working to prevent youth from entering the juvenile justice system.
One of the most poignant components of the START class is when current residents are brought in to answer questions about what daily life is like as a resident. Youth are encouraged to ask the residents questions and are given honest answers in return. This peer-to-peer interaction is often noted by the youth who attend the program as the most impactful portion of the class. A tour of the Juvenile Justice Center is offered at the end of each class and includes a walk-through of a residential dorm, the Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP), and the court room.
Participants are asked to complete an evaluation at the conclusion of the class. Feedback helps to improve the program, and is consistently positive.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Williamson County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
