discovery house

     

The state of Iaho has several juvenile facilities run by both the state (Department of Juvenile Corrections, DJC) and the county. The two largest county run facilities are the Ada County Juvenile Detention Center' and the Canyon County Juvenile Detention Center. They are similar to adult jails with cells and prison clothing and supplies. The state run programs are programs to which a judge may "commit" a juvenile if he finds it to be best. After a juvenile has been committed they stay for about seven days in the detention center of their county, and then depending on the region in which they live they are transported either to a building called JCC Nampa which contains Observation and Assessment (OnA is what the residents and most other people call JCC Nampa) which is located in Nampa, Idaho, JCC Lewiston which is located in the city of Lewiston, Idaho or JCC St. Anthonys which is located in the city of St. Anthony, Idaho. After a juvenile goes to OnA they are sent to the state run program deemed best for them.
