This facility is for juvenile residents.
The Division of Youth Corrections is responsible for the operation of
Colorado’s juvenile detention “continuum”. The continuum consists of community
based screening to determine detention needs, community supervision strategies,
and secure detention in facilities operated by or contracting with the Division
of Youth Corrections. In Colorado, detention serves two purposes:
- To ensure that a youth
accused of a delinquency appears for hearings ordered by the court;
and, - To sentence adjudicated youth
for a period of up to 45 days as a sanction by the court.
assessment services for any youth referred for detention admission. The
screening process is managed by each of the state’s 22 judicial districts and
is designed to determine the most appropriate setting for each youth. In most
cases, youth screened will be served and monitored through non-secure,
community-based services such as day reporting, electronic home monitoring,
and/or enhanced community supervision. For those youth whom the screen reveals
has the potential to run, is a risk to others, or otherwise is likely to
violate conditions of community supervision, he/she can be detained in one of
the eight secure juvenile detention facilities operated by the Division of
Youth Corrections, or three staff-secure/secure detention facilities operated
by community-based providers. These facilities are strategically located around
the state to provide detention services for all 64 counties.
All youth detained or placed under supervision programs in the
community receive a hearing before a magistrate within 48 hours. For those held
in secure detention, a decision is made whether the youth will be sent home on
a community supervision and treatment plan or if further detention is
warranted.
