Superior Court Judge. There is no other facility in Imperial County that would be able to house juvenile arrests. The Imperial County Jail is used for housing any subjects over the age of eighteen (18). Therefore, HSI SAC San Diego/ASAC Calexico is prohibited from housing juveniles at that location. Also, the Immigration Detention Facility in Calexico, CA does not house juveniles, therefore ASAC Calexico would also be prohibited from housing juveniles there.

The Imperal County juvenile detention facility is classified as a medium security facility. It has a strengthened perimeter fence and electronic detection systems to ensure inmates remain within the facility. To help inmates prepare themselves to rejoin the wider community, Imperial County Jail offers a wide range of work and treatment programs. Juvenile’s are taking into care and custody until federal arriangnment.
