Brandon Thompson
Chief Probation Officer / Juvenile Hall Superintendent
Once processed in the juvenile court system there are many different pathways for juveniles. Whereas some juveniles are released directly back into the community to undergo community-based rehabilitative programs, some juveniles may pose a greater threat to society and to themselves and therefore are in need of a stay in a supervised juvenile detention center.

They may receive additional mail supplies through the mail from their parent/guardian. Youth may then send as many letters as they would like, unless restrictions are in place by their probation officer or the court.

You should immediately report any medical concerns for your child to the juvenile detention staff and they will speak to the medical staff about your concerns. Report any medical condition/diagnosis and medication your child may be prescribed and bring any medication to the Tehama County facility for review and authorization by medical staff. Your child will receive all medical and dental care, as recommended by the medical staff. You need to sign medical consent forms as soon as possible.
***Please notify the facility staff if your child is allergic to any medication or food. ***

Your child’s education needs will be assessed and delivered according to the law. School staff will obtain all prior school records so that your child will receive his/her appropriate school credits and any Individualized Education Plan information.
If officials determine there is enough legal cause for your child to remain in custody, the court process will begin. A probation officer will be assigned to your child’s case and he/she will contact you by telephone (if possible) to advise you when your child will be appearing in court. Please contact the Glenn County Probation Department and provide your current phone number and address.
