Smith County Juvenile Detention Center

A juvenile's length of stay at the Smith County Juvenile Detention Center is an average of 2 weeks. This is a pre-adjudication facility that houses both male and female juveniles between the ages of 10 and 17 while they wait for their court date. While many of the youth who are arrested will be permitted to wait for their hearing at home, those who are a danger to themselves or others, who have a history of not appearing at court dates, or who require detention for other reasons, will be held at this location. There are 65 beds and programs are in place for substance abuse treatment and education as well as a mental health program. Crisis intervention is used as needed, and each resident admitted will undergo a mental health assessment, substance abuse assessment, and an educational assessment after which they will be provided with educational services, mental health services including counseling, and substance abuse treatment where needed.
