San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall
San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall
The San Joaquin County Probation Department is responsible for the Juvenile Detention Services. In this facility they provide a safe and secure location to house youth who are awaiting placement, who have been newly arrested and not had a court appearance yet, or who have been committed to the facility for a set amount of time during a sentencing hearing. Any youth who are on probation and arrested by their probation officer will also be taken to this facility. The first appearance in court will determine if the charges will be dropped and they may be released, if they will be released to their parents pending trial, or if they will be detained until their sentencing. They may alternatively be committed to the Camp or Work Project Program. There is also a Juvenile Camp that is operated on the grounds of the juvenile hall that allows youth between 14 to 17, moderate to high risk, not dependent on drugs or alcohol, not dangerous to others, and capable of completing the program. The Work Project Program is for youth over 13 and allows them to serve their sentence without being fully confined to the juvenile hall.

In San Joaquin County and throughout California, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account, and must consider less restrictive alternatives before keeping someone in jail because they can’t afford bail. Per Rule 4.101, judges may not consider whether the defendant wants a jury trial when setting bail.

The San Joaquin County Juvenile Hall is licensed for 229 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. The monthly turnover rate at most city and county jails in California is at least 35-40% of the inmate population, with an additional 25-30% every 90 days and an additional 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the San Joaquin County facilities much longer.
