The Cowlitz County Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 1725 1st Ave Longview, WA that is operated locally by the Juvenile Justice Department and holds youths awaiting the determination of punishment for the crimes of which they are accused. Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.
The juvenile justice system differs from the adult system, focusing on rehabilitation and recognizing the developmental differences in juveniles. It aims to protect both the child and the public and helps juveniles become productive adults.
Juveniles are detained if they pose a threat, may miss court, or violate court orders. Parental involvement is crucial for effective supervision and rehabilitation.
Key differences in terminology include "taken into custody" instead of "arrest" and "supervision" instead of "probation." Referrals usually come from law enforcement, and an intake social worker decides the juvenile's placement. An inquiry can lead to dismissal, corrective action, or court involvement.
The process includes a plea hearing, possible evaluations, a pre-trial conference, a fact-finding hearing, and a dispositional hearing to determine the case's outcome. Parents may need to cover associated costs.
The Cowlitz County Youth Services Center (CCYSC), also known as the Juvenile Department, operates within the Superior Court System, encompassing key functions such as courtrooms, probation offices, and detention facilities. Its primary mission is to address the needs of youth under 18 who are alleged or found to have committed a crime.
With jurisdiction over various cases involving juvenile offenders, the Juvenile Court handles criminal offenses, allegations of dependency, at-risk youth, children in need of services, and truancy. Through these legal proceedings, the center aims to provide intervention and support tailored to the unique circumstances of each individual.
Central to the center's approach is the concept of restorative justice, which seeks to hold juvenile offenders accountable for their actions while fostering community connections and rehabilitation. This involves engaging offenders in community-based programs, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships with treatment providers and other agencies across Cowlitz County.
Recognizing the importance of familial support in reducing recidivism, CCYSC prioritizes efforts to assist not only the youth but also their families. By addressing underlying family dynamics and providing resources for support and guidance, the center strives to promote positive outcomes for both youth and their communities.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Cowlitz County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
