Your best starting place is the IDJC District 6 liaison, who can connect you with the right staff and confirm what's currently allowed for phone calls, visits, and mail. Specifics like visiting hours, mail restrictions, and phone or video providers aren't covered here, so plan to verify those rules by phone before you make a trip, send anything, or set up an account.

When you call, zero in on the details that change most often and cause the biggest headaches. Confirm the current visiting schedule and whether you need to be on an approved list. Ask what identification is required, whether visits must be scheduled in advance, and what happens if you show up late. Get the exact rules for mail too: what's accepted, how to address it, and what gets rejected. Ask about phone and video contact options, including how to set things up, who can receive calls, and any account or funding steps. If temporary protocols are in place for health or operational reasons, get those specifics from staff so you don't waste time or have items turned away.

  1. Call the District 6 liaison: Reach Stace Gearhart at (208) 417-5031 and tell them you’re trying to confirm the correct way to contact someone at District VI Juvenile Detention Center.
  2. Ask for the right point of contact: Request the name or department that handles visitation, mail, and phone or video communication, then follow that referral.

Visitation

How to Visit District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, ID (ID)

If your child is held at District Vi Juvenile Detention Center, one deadline matters immediately: a Detention Hearing must be scheduled within 24 hours (weekends and holidays excluded). At that hearing, the court decides whether your child stays in detention, goes home, or is placed in an alternate setting until the next court date. Expect the early intake steps to move fast. Families are notified of custody as soon as possible, and youth may be fingerprinted and photographed during processing. In some cases, a youth can be released to a parent who signs a written promise to bring them to court at a stated time, unless a judge orders otherwise or release is not considered to promote the welfare of the community or the youth. This page covers what's confirmed about the detention timeline. Visiting hours, approval requirements, ID rules, and what you can bring are not addressed by the available information here. You'll need to confirm those details directly with the facility or the juvenile court.
