Juvenile Hall
The Wellington M. Smith, Jr. Juvenile Hall is a short-term detention facility for juveniles awaiting adjudication of their cases. It is a 114-bed facility
that houses minors who are charged with new criminal acts and/or probation violations. While in custody they are under constant supervision of the facility’s
juvenile institutions officers. The minors in custody generally fall into these categories:
- Minors pending further investigation immediately after admission.
- Minors detained pending further court proceedings.
- Minors awaiting court-ordered placement.
The juvenile institutions officers, Behavioral Health staff, nursing staff, and teachers who work in Juvenile Hall make every effort to address the male and
female minors’ social, physical, behavioral, psychological, and emotional needs. Their shared goal is to provide services that will help the minors’
reintegration back into the community.
Juvenile Hall staff will
not provide information about juveniles in custody over the telephone. For information and
directions to Juvenile Hall please call 831/755-3981 or 831/755-3976.
