Linn County Juvenile Detention Center Information

Juveniles who are arrested or require detention in Linn County will find themselves at the Linn County Juvenile Detention Center. These youth are aged 12 to 18, though extenuating circumstances may result in younger juveniles being held for short periods of time. On average, the length of their stay is around 12 days, with the majority of those residing in the facility waiting for their court appearance or serving a short sentence. Before detention is considered the alternatives to detention will be attempted, and when they fail a juvenile will be sent to the detention facility. Alternatives to detention include home detention, community services, and counseling or other treatments. Each day is structured, and all juveniles are to stay on task and stay on schedule for the entire day, which develops discipline and responsibility. Through visits and phone calls the family will remain in close contact with the youth in detention and will remain up to date on their experience in the facility. This is key to family reunification after they have finished their individual program, which is designed to meet all needs of the individual youth.
