Nominations for Cook County JTDC Advisory Board
February 28, 2014

The Criminal Justice Committee of the Cook County Board is currently seeking nominations for individuals interested in serving on an Advisory Board to the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. 

The JTDC provides temporary secure housing for youth from the age of 10 through 16 years, who are awaiting adjudication of their cases by the Juvenile Division of the Cook County Courts. The Center also provides care for youth who have been transferred from Juvenile Court jurisdiction to Criminal Court. These youth would otherwise be incarcerated in the county jail. Currently under the auspices of the Federal Court, the JTDC will soon be transitioning to the oversight of the Chief Judge of the Cook County Court.

The purpose of the advisory board is to provide public recommendations to the Executive Director of the JTDC, the Chief Judge, the President and Commissioners of the Cook County Board regarding the educational, physical, social, and psychological needs of the population; establish advisory performance measures to track and measure the achievement of the JTDC's mission and to provide public recommendations as needed to meet the educational, physical, social and psychological needs of the population at the JTDC.
