The Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections

What The Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections does

The Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) is a state government agency operating under the executive branch of Idaho state government, established under the Juvenile Corrections Act of 1995 and headquartered at 954 W. Jefferson St., Boise, Idaho. The agency's statutory mandate is to provide custody, treatment, and rehabilitation services to post-adjudicated juvenile offenders using the Balanced Approach and Restorative Justice model built on three pillars: Community Safety, Offender Accountability, and Competency Development. IDJC operates three state juvenile corrections centers — JCC-Lewiston (male juveniles, Social Learning/Positive Peer Culture model), JCC-Nampa (male and female, secure facility), and JCC-St. Anthony (male and female, positive peer model) — alongside 12 Youth Assessment Centers, 11 funded juvenile detention centers, and a contracted residential treatment provider network serving all 44 Idaho counties plus three tribal jurisdictions.

IDJC's core product set spans facility-based services (medical, clinical, educational through Juniper Hills Schools, religious, and food services subsidized by the USDA National School Lunch Program) and community-based programming through the COPS Division, which includes Behavioral Health funding streams (JJ SUDS and CBAS), Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST), District Liaison coordination, Planning & Compliance, and the Interstate Compact for Juveniles. Technology infrastructure is operational rather than differentiated: cloud-based BlueJeans video visitation, PayPort online payments, and a Teamup training calendar support service delivery, alongside Idaho-specific Juvenile Human Trafficking Screening Tools developed with a national expert.

Revenue is generated through a mix of state general fund appropriations, federal JJDPA Title II formula grants from OJJDP, pass-through funding to counties and tribes (SUDS and CBAS), USDA meal subsidies, and minimal court-ordered parent reimbursement and sex offender registration fees. The agency is funded annually by the Idaho Legislature and is accountable to the Governor; it does not charge fees for core custody and treatment services. The customer base consists of involuntary system-involved youth committed by court adjudication, their families, crime victims, and the 44 Idaho counties plus tribal governments that receive pass-through funding and technical assistance.
