Juvenile House Arrest

The Juvenile House Arrest Program is the highest level of supervision available to youth in the community. Operated from within the Juvenile Detention Center, the program provides an alternative to incarceration. While limiting the juvenile's freedom by requiring them to remain in their home, the program allows for a highly monitored schedule which can include school, treatment, religious life, and employment.

The House Arrest Program is available to youth through three different approaches:

• Pre-Sentence: Youth who are waiting first appearances or trials and are ordered by the court to be supervised pending court action.
• Sentenced: Which can include youth awaiting out of home placement or awaiting evaluations and/or treatment. In addition, Sentenced youth may be placed on the House Arrest Program as a condition of probation.
• Conditional Release: Juveniles are conditionally released from the Kansas State Juvenile Correctional Facilities. To ensure success through greater structure, house arrest may be a condition of release.

In order for a juvenile to be placed on the House Arrest Program, authorization must be provided by any of the following:

• A Judge of the District Court
• The Commissioner of the Kansas Juvenile Justice Authority
• The Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center

This authorization is often a result of a recommendation by a Court Services Officer, Intensive Supervision Officer, or Case Manager.
