The Caliente Youth Center (CYC), established in 1962, is a staff-secure facility located in Caliente, Nevada. The facility includes seven separate housing units for youth committed to the state for correctional care; five units for males and two for females. CYC has the capacity to serve up to 140 youth ages 12 to 18. For over 50 years, the Caliente Youth Center has assisted in helping Nevada's at risk youth change their course. CYC's mission is to promote positive value change to the youth served through a balanced, team-centered and strength-based approach.
In an effort to help improve the future of at risk youth, CYC utilizes Forward Thinking, a cognitive behavioral program model. The program utilizes evidence-based strategies and interactive journaling to assist youth in making positive changes in their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Youth participate in individual journaling sessions and group discussions; improving communication skills and learning to work as a team. Forward Thinking focuses on the topics of "What Got Me Here, Responsible Behavior, Individual Change Plan, Handling Difficult Feelings, Relationships and Communication, Family, Victim Awareness, Substance Using Behaviors, and Reentry Planning."
Nestled up against the mountains, CYC provides a unique atmosphere for correctional care. On site, in addition to the seven separate housing units, there is an administration building, an infirmary, a full-service kitchen and laundry, maintenance, an accredited high school, a gymnasium, a football/soccer field, a baseball/softball diamond, and a workout room for aerobic, weightlifting, and cardio fitness.
Youth may only receive incoming mail from, and send outgoing mail to, people on their approved writing list. Youth are not allowed to correspond with the following: Any current or former victim of the youth; the family of any current or former victim of the youth, unless the victim was a member of the youth's family; any individual known to be a gang member; any current or former co-defendant of the youth; any current youth in custody of a juvenile probation department or DCFS-Juvenile Services; any non-family individual incarcerated in any prison or jail. The parent or guardian is the ONLY person who can add to this list. All requests, made by youth, for additions must be made in writing and signed by their guardian.
Youth are allowed 2 state stamps each week. State stamps are used only for parents or guardians. All other postage is paid for by youth or their families. Letters to their parole officer do not require postage. Any mail, incoming or outgoing that is unapproved will be returned to sender.
Youth may turn in outgoing mail to staff at any time of the day. Incoming mail is usually distributed after school as "mail call."
PHONE CALLS
Phone calls are to and from parents, guardians, parole officers, or attorneys. All others will require prior approval. Youth are allowed to have 1-10 minute phone call every 7 days. Special conditions apply for youth whose parents have co-custody and live separately. The cottage Senior Group Supervisor will make arrangements for these calls. Split into 2 phone calls - 5 minutes per call.
Staff may monitor all or part of a call that is determined or suspected to be inappropriate, of negative content, or to an unapproved person. A call can be terminated without recourse. Phone calls may be monitored with administrative approval for safety and security reasons.
Juvenile facilities overseen by the State of Nevada do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
