District VI Juvenile Overview
The District VI Juvenile Detention Center is a secure regional juvenile detention center in Pocatello. Its official page lists Power County Juvenile Services as a county contact, which ties Power County youth matters to the regional facility. The facility serves participating counties in Idaho's Sixth Judicial District and is governed through a Facility Board made up of one commissioner from each participating county under a Joint Powers Agreement.
This facility is not the adult county jail. It should not be described as a place to search adult inmates, current bookings, mugshots, bail rows, or public charge tables. Juvenile detention records are more confidential than adult jail records, and access usually depends on legal relationship, court authority, agency role, or direct involvement in the juvenile case. The correct path is to contact Power County Juvenile Services, the court, the youth's attorney, or the facility.
The Center's page states that the Facility Board hires the executive director, secures financing, and oversees operation and management. Day-to-day operation is handled by the executive director. The board and director meet twice a year or as needed, which gives the regional center a different governance model from the Sheriff's Office-operated adult jail in American Falls.
District VI Juvenile Custody
No official capacity figure for the District VI Juvenile Detention Center was located in the research sources. Because the public source does not provide a bed count or Power County-specific juvenile population number, the page should avoid inventing a capacity, average daily population, or youth count. The useful public facts are the facility's regional juvenile role, Power County Juvenile Services contact information, PREA reporting framework, and wellness policy.
The Center is best understood as a confidential juvenile detention access point, not a roster-driven public inmate-search page. Power County adult custody stays with the Power County Jail roster, while juvenile detention questions route through juvenile services, court contacts, legal counsel, and facility staff.
Access District VI Juvenile Records
There is no public adult-style roster for youth at District VI Juvenile Detention Center in the research file. Juvenile custody and case access should be handled through private, authorized channels. A parent, guardian, attorney, probation officer, or court-authorized person should start with Power County Juvenile Services or the facility, then follow court directions if records, hearings, or release information are needed.
- Contact Power County Juvenile Services for a Power County youth matter, using the county contact published on the District VI page.
- Contact the facility at the published center number for facility-specific questions, including PREA reporting or authorized detention access.
- Use the youth's attorney or the court for confidential case records, release conditions, hearing dates, or court orders.
- Do not search the adult Power County Jail roster for juvenile detention information unless the issue involves an adult jail record for someone legally processed as an adult.
The manifest image below comes from the official District VI Juvenile Detention Center page, which lists Power County Juvenile Services, PREA reporting options, the Facility Board model, and wellness policy information.
The screenshot is relevant because it shows why juvenile detention access is routed through agency and court contacts instead of an adult booking roster.
District VI Juvenile Contacts
Power County juvenile detention questions can involve both the regional facility and Power County's local juvenile services office. The facility address is in Pocatello.

District VI Juvenile Visitation
The research sources did not publish a general public visitation schedule for District VI Juvenile Detention Center. Because the facility serves juveniles, visitation access should be confirmed directly with the facility, Power County Juvenile Services, the court, or counsel. The correct visitor list, identification requirements, and permitted contact may depend on a youth's case status, parent or guardian authority, court orders, and facility rules.
| Visitor Issue | How to Confirm | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Parent or guardian access | Contact the facility or Power County Juvenile Services. | Juvenile access can depend on legal authority and case status. |
| Attorney visits | Coordinate through counsel and facility staff. | Legal visits are handled differently from public social visits. |
| Court limits | Check the court order or attorney instructions. | Some contact can be limited by a judge or case plan. |
| General public visits | Do not assume public access is available. | Juvenile detention is not an adult public roster setting. |
Anyone planning to visit should call first. Do not rely on adult jail visiting hours, adult roster status, or adult mugshot pages for this facility. The Power County Jail visitation schedule applies to the adult jail in American Falls, not to District VI juvenile detention in Pocatello.
District VI Juvenile Mail and Care
The official research did not locate a public commissary, money-deposit vendor, or mail rule table for District VI Juvenile Detention Center. That absence is important. Juvenile facilities often limit what can be sent or delivered, and authorized adults should confirm the current rules before mailing items, dropping off property, or trying to fund services.
| Topic | Public Source Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail rules | Not located in official source material; confirm with the Center. |
| Money deposits | No public juvenile commissary vendor was documented in the research. |
| Meals | Breakfast and lunch are approved by the National School Lunch Program; dinner and evening snack are provided. |
| Food preparation | Meals are prepared by Bannock County Jail kitchen staff. |
| Resident vending | The wellness policy says concession machines are not available to residents. |
The wellness policy emphasizes healthy lifestyles through nutrition education and well-balanced meals for youth. That type of programming is different from adult jail commissary access. For a youth's current care needs, authorized parties should use the facility contact or Power County Juvenile Services rather than adult inmate-deposit systems.
District VI Juvenile Intake
Juvenile detention intake is not the same as adult arrest booking. The adult Power County roster lists public current bookings, but District VI juvenile intake information is confidential and routed through juvenile services and the court. Power County Juvenile Services handles adult misdemeanor probation, juvenile probation, and pretrial release functions under the Sixth Judicial District context, and its official page describes work with juvenile offenders placed on probation by Power County Magistrate Court.
For a Power County youth, intake or detention status may involve referral, court direction, probation contact, attorney communication, and facility screening. Public users should not expect a booking number, mugshot, bail table, or current-bookings list. If there is a public safety, abuse-reporting, or legal-access issue, contact the facility, attorney, court, or appropriate law enforcement office.
District VI PREA and Wellness
The District VI page gives specific PREA reporting information. PREA allegations may be reported to the Director, Bannock County Prosecuting Attorney, Pocatello Police Department, or Idaho State Police. The page says reports are taken seriously and investigated, and that false accusations may be prosecuted. It also states the Center reviews PREA data for corrective action, prepares annual reports, and makes aggregated data available at least annually.
The Center completed a PREA audit and was found in full compliance, with an audit report completed on October 21, 2025. The wellness policy states that the facility promotes healthy lifestyles through nutrition education and well-balanced meals. Breakfast and lunch are approved by the National School Lunch Program, dinner is provided, and an evening snack is furnished.
About District VI Juvenile
District VI Juvenile Detention Center is the only regional detention facility clearly tied to Power County in the official research. No Idaho Department of Correction prison, federal Bureau of Prisons facility, or ICE detention center was found in Power County. Adult county jail custody remains with Power County Jail, while sentenced state custody moves to IDOC, and federal or immigration detention uses separate systems.
The distinction protects accuracy and privacy. A youth connected to Power County Juvenile Services is not an adult inmate on the Power County Jail roster, and juvenile images should not be treated as public jail mugshots. Adult jail pages can discuss roster fields and booking photos, but District VI juvenile content should focus on confidential access, approved contacts, PREA reporting, wellness, and court-supervised juvenile processes.
Note: Confirm juvenile detention access with Power County Juvenile Services, the court, counsel, or District VI staff before acting.
