DETENTION SERVICES:

The Yuba-Sutter Juvenile Hall provides juvenile detention services to the communities of Yuba and Sutter Counties. The facility has operated since 1976 under a Joint Powers Agreement between the two counties. Yuba County Probation is the administrative agency responsible for the management and daily operation of the facility. The Juvenile Hall is a 60 bed, 24-hour secure detention facility providing detention services for Yuba, Sutter and Colusa Counties. The facility is located at 1023 14th Street, in Marysville. The Juvenile Hall is a temporary holding facility for youth who are pending disposition before the Juvenile Court. Although a small number of youth are serving court ordered commitments, the majority of the youth detained in the facility are pending Juvenile Court proceedings.

The Juvenile Correctional Officers, medical and mental health staff, school teachers, and other facility support staff make every effort to address the social, behavioral, psychological, and emotional needs of the detained minors. Their shared goal is to provide services that will assist the youth in successfully reintegrating back into the community.
