The Alachua Regional Juvenile Detention Center functions as a secure facility with 45 beds, catering to youth detained by the Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Putnam, Suwannee, and Union circuit courts. These youths are held pending adjudication, disposition, or placement in a commitment facility.
The facility ensures the supervision of youth in a safe, secure, and humane environment. It offers a range of services including education, mental health, substance abuse, and healthcare, with medical and mental health services provided through contracted services. Educational services are funded by the Department of Education via local school districts.
A typical day in secure detention involves routines such as hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and scheduled court appearances. The average length of stay is approximately 11 days.
Juvenile detention centers in Florida act as short-term, temporary facilities for youth offenders requiring immediate supervision. Within 24 hours of custody, juveniles undergo a detention hearing before a judge, who determines the necessity of continued detention based on specific statutory criteria.
Detention centers prioritize providing a secure environment for detained youth. They offer educational services, including assessments and full-time schooling funded by the Department of Education through local school districts. Additionally, medical, substance abuse, and mental health services are provided, including screenings, crisis intervention, and stabilization.
Youth in secure detention are considered risks to public safety and must remain in physically secure facilities pending court proceedings. However, those charged with minor offenses and deemed low-risk may be released to their parents or guardians.
Daily structured recreational activities are provided for all youth, with optional participation in religious services. The primary aim of detention centers is to rehabilitate youth and prepare them for reintegration into the community.
Juvenile facilities overseen by the State of Florida do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
Parents, grandparents, and legal guardians are approved visitors. Others may only visit if so ordered by the court or specifically approved by the Superintendent or designee. A youth's assigned Juvenile Probation Officer should be contacted to approve both visitation list additions and special visitation arrangements.
Legal counsel, probation, law enforcement, clergy, and other professionals may visit youth outside of regularly established visitation times as necessary and are subject to any requirements regarding signing in and contraband.
All visitors are subject to electronic search. Visitors shall not bring personal items (e.g. keys, purses, packages, etc.) into the secure area. The introduction of any unauthorized items into a detention facility is a 3rd-degree felony.
