What Happens After the Juvenile Offender is Sent to a Juvenile Correctional Facility?
The Commissioner of Juvenile Justice decides when a juvenile offender is released from a juvenile correctional facility and whether their release will be direct with no supervision or conditional with supervision by a social worker or court services officer. In certain cases involving serious offenses, the Juvenile Correctional Facility must notify the District Attorney of the future release. The District Attorney, in turn will notify the victim or the victim’s family if their address is known. In the event that a juvenile offender attempts to contact you from a facility or otherwise, please alert the facility superintendent and this office for assistance that can be offered. In an emergency, immediately contact your local law enforcement agency.
