Salt Lake Valley Juvenile Detention Center

The Balanced & Restorative Justice Model is a philosophy of correctional care that emphasizes three equally important principles: Accountability When a crime occurs, a debt is incurred. Youth must be held accountable for their actions and to restore the victim’s losses. JJS will be held accountable for the efficacy of services provided to youth. Competency development Offenders should leave the system more capable of productive participation in conventional society than when they entered. Community protection The public has a right to a safe and secure community. Youth also have the right to be safe while in the custody of the Division of Juvenile Justice Services.
