District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, ID

Visiting District Vi Juvenile Detention Center starts with getting approved. You'll need to submit a visiting application and pass a background check before you can schedule a visit. Once you're cleared, staff will notify the resident. Visits may be in-person, non-contact, or video-based. The available formats, hours, and scheduling method can vary, so confirm the current options before you go. Adult visitors need valid photo identification. Minors typically need a minor application plus documents like a birth certificate or guardianship papers. If a youth is kept in detention, a Detention Hearing is scheduled within 24 hours (except weekends and holidays) to review continued detention. If you're on probation or parole, get written approval from your officer first. Do not attempt to visit if a no-contact order applies.

Staying in touch at District Vi Juvenile Detention Center usually means receiving outgoing calls from the juvenile. Some facilities may also offer video or tablet-based communication depending on availability. Incoming calls are generally not accepted. Phone time is typically limited (often several outgoing calls per week) and reserved for parents, guardians, or approved family members. To get phone or video access set up, you or your family usually need to create an account with the facility's approved phone or video vendor, then add funds through the vendor's payment system. For District 6 administrative or program questions, the IDJC District 6 liaison in Pocatello is the listed point of contact. For behavioral-health program questions or referrals, the IDJC Behavioral Health Program Specialist phone contact is also listed as a resource.

To receive electronic payments for residents at District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, you'll need to submit the facility's combined W-9/direct deposit form along with an original voided check or bank verification. Deposit slips are not accepted. The SCO also requires the direct deposit form to be signed, and the supporting bank documentation must be dated within three months of submission. If you prefer other deposit options, Idaho DOC payment systems commonly offer multiple methods: online or mobile app payments, phone payments, retail cash barcode deposits, and on-site kiosks. Whichever method you use, double-check the resident's full name and facility ID exactly as listed. Select the correct agency or program so the funds post to the right account.
