After receiving the okay to book from IDC, but before taking the minor into the holding area, the juvenile hall staff will do a preliminary interview with the minor asking if he/she has any injuries that we should be aware of. The minor will then be brought into the holding area where he/she will be Live Scanned if this has not already been done by the detaining agency. The minor is then showered, and changed into proper juvenile hall attire, and their personal clothes & property will be turned into the juvenile hall property room. After showering, the minor will then be thoroughly interviewed for any potential medical, physical, or psychological issues that might need to be addressed for his/her proper care. The minor is then moved to the Medical Unit where they will be assessed by medical staff as to their readiness to be admitted into juvenile hall. After being cleared by medical staff, the minor is sent to the receiving unit. The minor will then receive orientation to the facility and have a mental health screening.
