SEEDS - Non-Secure Detention Information

As an alternative to secure detention for low risk juveniles in the area, the Sowing Encouragement and Education to Develop Skills facility allows for them to engage in learning opportunities and activities that locations with secure detention are unable to access. They are able to attend field trips, leave the facility for trips with the group, and may have other opportunities for personal growth and development. All education is provided throughout their stay, as well as all medical needs, nutritional needs with meals and snacks, medical and dental care, and mental health support. Counseling is provided not only to the juveniles but also to their families as needed, to provide them with the tools to support their juveniles and to work together towards a successful future. It offers one of the alternatives to secure detention and each of the locations under ACS that offer non secure housing, including SEEDS, are able to house up to 12 individuals at one time. The goal of the non-secure program is to prevent recidivism and lower the number of youths who are in the regular secure detention route, allowing them an alternative that is both effective and better for the mental health of youth. Mail: Upon arrival at their assigned location, youth may receive and send mail during their stay, through the postal service, but it may be checked for contraband. Phones: Approved family members, most often parents or guardians, may receive calls from a juvenile in the facility. Visitation: Visitation rules, times, and approved visitors vary by location and facility and will be provided to the approved visitors after the intake assessment and assignment.
