Description
Youth Assessment Center, with families and the community, supports activities that contribute to the safety and well-being of youth involved with the juvenile justice system or at risk of becoming involved in the system. Goal is to divert youth from the juvenile detention center where possible and when appropriate. Youth receive comprehensive pre-treatment assessments and drug and alcohol assessments to aid the juvenile court in determining the need for detention.
Staff Secure Detention facilities house youth who are under Juvenile Court jurisdiction only and who do not require a locked facility for supervision and control. The facility is unlocked and the supervision is provided by staff.
Juvenile Detention Center is a secure facility that houses youth who require a locked environment; the facility has a central control room which houses a state of the art computerized security system to monitor and manage security 24-hours a day.
Drug and alcohol evaluations for all youth admitted, as well as year round educational programs through the Lincoln Public Schools/Pathfinder School.
