The facility shall not be treated as a jail, prison, or penal institution and shall be operated in all respects as nearly like a home as possible. As a division of the Probation Department, the facility's staff have separate duties and functions from other division, but maintain a cooperative and mutually supportive relationship with the rest of the Department. In general , juvenile hall staff are responsible for booking decisions, admissions procedures, and the daily care and custody of minors housed in the facility. The school program operates five days a week. Minors are tested to find their current level of knowledge and work is assigned from that basis.
Computers are available to all students for enhanced learning opportunities.
Minors receive school credit for the work done in the Juvenile Hall and their records follow them to the next school they attend. Due to the intense opportunity for education many youth acquire a number of credits toward graduation while in the facility. CFMG staff come to the Juvenile Hall on a daily basis to provide this care. The volunteer numbers have grown to 50. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer contact the Juvenile Hall or Probation Department.
