Parents & Victims

Dear Parent,

As a parent of a juvenile in the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections’ custody, your involvement in their treatment program and their transition back to their community is an expectation. You are a partner, focusing on your family’s interest in solutions to your child’s criminal behaviors so as to become a law-abiding and productive citizen. We encourage you to visit and write your child while in our custody, and prepare yourself and other family members for the future by laying a foundation for success.

Dear Victim,

You did not ask to be a victim. We want you to have an opportunity to meet with the juvenile offender, if requested, to participate in a victim offender mediation process; and, to participate in a victim impact panel to speak directly with incarcerated youth regarding the impact the crime had on you. We respect your dignity as a human being and we acknowledge your victimization. Accountability of the offender to you as a victim for the harm caused is paramount. Every effort should be made for your restoration and for community losses by the juvenile.
