Most of the residents are pre-dispositional and are pending adjudication, and are being detained at the request of a judge or law enforcement as they are alleged to have committed what for an adult is a felony or misdemeanor, if they are considered to be a danger to themselves or a threat to the community, or if they are unlikely to attend their court date if released, or if they are wanted in another state. Services that are provided during detention meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the youth and are designed to promote social skills, teach life skills, and provide tools for a successful future.
