Miami-Dade Regional Juvenile Detention Center

The 98 bed Miami-Dade Regional Juvenile Detention Center serves the county of Miami-Dade and Monroe. Newly arrested juvenile offenders are taken there to be booked, and they may be released, or they may be held until their first court date, at which time it will be determined if they will remain in detention or wait home for their trial. They may remain in the facility throughout their trial and sentencing and may remain there to serve and sentence to detention that they receive. On average a youth will remain in the facility for around 15 days before being released or transferred to another facility, and during those 15 days they will be required to attend school on weekdays, participate in any group activities and physical education that is provided, and to attend counselling and treatment for any mental health or addiction concerns. To work towards family reunification and the building of support systems for the juveniles after their release, families are encouraged to accept regular phone calls, send letters, and attend visiting days. It is important for the success of the program that youth have the support at home to continue with the skills that they learned during their stay. Mail: Youth are permitted to receive mail each week, with some postage provided by the facility and additional supplies may be provided by the family. All mail is checked for contraband and may be censored or refused. Phones: Youth will have access to phones at least once a week and may earn access each day, though the privilege can be removed for behavior and rule breaking. Only parents and guardians will receive calls from juveniles in detention. Visiting: Visiting is permitted for parents, grandparents, and legal guardians on Wednesdays 7pm-8pm and on Sundays 1pm-2pm for those with last names starting with A-M and 7pm-8pm for those with last names N-Z.
