The Manatee Regional Juvenile Detention Center operates as a 42-bed, hardware-secure facility, catering to youth detained by the Manatee, Sarasota, and DeSoto Circuit Courts. These youths are held pending adjudication, disposition, or placement in a commitment facility.
Ensuring a safe, secure, and humane environment, the facility provides a range of services for youth, 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 entails routines such as hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and scheduled court appearances. The average length of stay is approximately 14 days. 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 prioritize 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. Daily structured recreational activities are organized for all youth, with optional participation in religious services. Detention centers aim to rehabilitate youth and prepare them for their eventual return to 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Juvenile facilities overseen by the State of Florida do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility.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. Legal counsel, probation, law enforcement and clergy and other professionals may visit detainees as necessary, but are subject to the same requirements regarding signing-in and contraband. All visitors must have a photo ID.
