Appointment requests will only be accepted between the hours of 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm on the day of the visit. Please call (928) 314-1823 to make an appointment. No visits will be allowed without a prior appointment having being made.
Can I bring in food or money for a detained juvenile?
No, food and all other needed items are provided by the detention center.
How does my child receive level advancements?
A juvenile’s ability to promote through the level system will be based on both behavior and completion of Step-Up packets. The juvenile must demonstrate good behavior for five consecutive days and complete the appropriate Step-Up packet.
