SECURE DETENTION

Secure Detention is a temporary and secure custody of children accused or adjudicated of conduct committed while the child is between 8-18 years of age, subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, who require a physically restricting environment for their own or community’s protection while pending legal action.
