Violent and repeat offenders receive mandatory sentences of no less than one year. Aggravated juvenile offenders can be sentenced to up to seven years. DYS operates a full continuum of services for committed youth through a Continuum of Care model.
The Continuum of Care guides the activities of the Division throughout the commitment process from the initial assessment, to residential placement, through transition and parole supervision and services. The stages of the commitment process are outlined below.
Statute mandates that DYS provide a comprehensive assessment for all youth within the first 30 days of their commitment. Almost without exception, youth are moved to a permanent placement following the assessment meeting.
DYS provides residential treatment services to committed youth in either State-operated secure programs or private contract placements. Individualized treatment and transition plans are developed for each youth. These programs are designed to treat the highest-risk, highest-need committed males. DYC also operates four multipurpose youth centers that, in addition to acting as juvenile detention facilities, provide longer-term treatment to committed youth.
Colorado currently contracts with one private provider to operate a State-owned youth center: the Ridge View Youth Services Center. DYS contracts with a variety of private providers for community programs that range from staff-secure treatment programs to foster homes licensed through the State. Placement alternatives include residential child care centers, group homes and foster homes.
