The Okaloosa Regional Juvenile Detention Center, catering to the counties of Okaloosa and Walton, operates as a 35-bed, hardware-secure facility for youth detained by various circuit courts. These youths are held pending adjudication, disposition, or placement in a commitment facility.
The facility maintains a safe, secure, and humane environment, providing comprehensive services including education, mental health, substance abuse, and healthcare. Medical and mental health services are contracted, while educational services are funded by the Department of Education through local school districts.
A typical day in secure detention involves routines like hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and scheduled court appearances. The average length of stay in secure detention is approximately 12 days.
Youths in secure detention are perceived as risks to public safety and are required to remain in physically secure facilities until court proceedings. However, those charged with minor offenses and deemed low-risk may be released to their parents or guardians.
Structured recreational activities are available daily for all youth, alongside optional participation in religious services. The primary objective of detention centers is to rehabilitate youth and equip them for successful reintegration into the community.
To support the enhancement of detention program activities, interested parties are encouraged to reach out to the Superintendent for opportunities to donate time and/or resources.
Juvenile facilities overseen by the State of Florida do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility.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.
