The Locked Detention program serves as a crucial intervention for youths who present an immediate risk to community safety. Specifically designed for short-term confinement, it caters to delinquent youths awaiting adjudication, placement, or sentence determination by the Utah Juvenile Court Judge. With 11 programs dispersed across the state, participants engage in structured activities like schooling, cognitive behavioral skill-building groups, and recreational pursuits, while family involvement through phone contact and visitation is strongly encouraged.

Admission into the program follows the Statewide Detention Admission Guidelines, which delineate a comprehensive list of "Holdable Offenses." However, certain exclusionary criteria exist, including status offenses, failure to appear in court, runaway incidents, experiences of abuse or neglect, and age restrictions.

The program aims to achieve several critical outcomes, including community protection, fostering accountability among youths, and conducting early screening and assessment to address underlying issues. Tailoring the length of stay to each youth's circumstances, as determined by the Utah Juvenile Court, the program primarily targets delinquent youths aged 12-17 deemed to pose a significant risk to community safety. Through its comprehensive approach, the program not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also seeks to facilitate rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society for its participants.
