Mission Statement
The mission of the Southwest Idaho Juvenile Detention Center shall be to furnish secure detention for youths who have violated the law and present a threat to the community, subject to the determination of the courts. Further, the Center shall be an integral part of the Juvenile Justice system as it exists in Canyon County and all participating counties.
Philosophy and Goals
The philosophy and goals of the Southwest Idaho Juvenile Detention Center are based on the "Balanced Approach," wherein community protection, accountability and competency development are considered for each juvenile referred to the Center.
We would like to hear from other Juvenile Justice workers.
We'd like to hear your suggestions and more information on any successful
program that you may be utilizing in your juvenile detention center, so
we can steal it!! We will also willingly share our successes
for you to use, if you wish. (Email
us - sjett@canyoncounty.org.)
Please be advised that the SWIJDC staff will not arrange any pen pal relationships
for juveniles inside the Center. Any letters not specifically addressed
to a juvenile will be returned.
