The Duval Regional Juvenile Detention Center operates as a 95-bed, hardware-secure facility, catering to youths detained by Duval, Clay, and Nassau Circuit Courts. These youths are held pending adjudication, disposition, or placement in a commitment facility. In Florida, juvenile detention centers function as short-term, temporary facilities for youth offenders requiring immediate supervision. Upon being taken into custody, juveniles undergo a detention hearing within 24 hours before a judge, who determines the necessity of continued detention based on specific statutory criteria.
Detention centers are tasked with providing a safe and 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 while awaiting court proceedings. However, those charged with minor offenses and deemed low-risk may be released to their parents or guardians. Structured recreational activities are organized for all youth daily, with optional participation in religious services. Detention centers strive to rehabilitate youth and prepare them for eventual reintegration into the community.
The facility ensures the supervision of youth in a safe, secure, and humane environment, offering services including education, mental health, substance abuse, and healthcare. Medical and mental health services are contracted, with educational services funded by the Department of Education through local school districts. A typical day in secure detention includes routines such as hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and scheduled court appearances.
Juvenile facilities overseen by the State of Florida do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility.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.
