How youth phone calls work
Youth have a right to two telephone calls at booking; more if the youth has children. Parent and attorney visits and phone calls are listed among basic rights. No incoming-call process is published on the reviewed pages. Call Juvenile Hall at (530) 538-7311 rather than the adult jail.
Money
Can families send money here?
Reviewed Probation pages do not publish a way for families to deposit commissary money for youth at this building. Do not use Access Corrections or buttecountypackages.com — those are adult-jail vendors.
This is not the adult jail deposit or commissary process. Do not send adult-inmate funds through a youth-campus workflow.

These details come from the official youth-campus pages. Rules can change; use the linked county pages when you need to act.
Who can be held at Juvenile Hall
After arrest, a youth is cited and released or booked here. Stay-or-go uses the Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI). Intake photographs, fingerprints, searches, and an initial health screening.
Official FAQ (older PDF) said average length of stay is about 14–20 days, with many youth in and out in hours or days. Confirm current practice with Probation.
Education is listed as a basic right
The Juvenile Hall site lists access to an education among basic rights. A named on-site school is not published on the reviewed pages.
Official education page ↗Medical services on site
The facility page says California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG) contracts with the county to provide medical services to youth in custody. A nurse's station is on site.
Basic rights list three full meals a day and a nighttime snack.

A Juvenile Hall-specific PREA page was not in the reviewed Probation set. Ask the facility at (530) 538-7311 for the current PREA contact.
