At admissions, juveniles are permitted to make telephone calls to notify parents of their status, and to arrange for their release if permitted by the court. After they are admitted, juveniles may make 2 telephone calls per week to parents or grandparents. All calls may be collect calls. Incoming telephone calls for juveniles are not accepted. Juveniles are permitted to write and receive letters while in the detention center.
Incoming mail is screened for illegal material or contraband.
Schoolwork may be picked up from the juvenile's regular school and delivered to the center if the juvenile will be incarcerated for an extended period of time. If this is not possible, the Center's teachers will assign a program to the juvenile. The Center has a medical staff available to take care of emergency medical needs. You may not pick up your child for a doctor's appointment outside the Center unless a judge signs a written order allowing you to do so. You may arrange to have your child transported to an outside medical provider by contacting the medical staff at 454-7275.
