Probation officials will lead the free tours through the juvenile justice system, starting in a courtroom and then through the court tunnel to the living quarters where youth spend their days and nights. The public is welcome, and youth groups, parents and children are encouraged to come out. The public will not see any of the youth being held at Juvenile Hall during the tour, but they will get a glimpse of what life is like for those being held at Juvenile Hall. Probation Department groups and community partners will host a resource and informational booth fair outside Juvenile Hall to help steer youth toward positive life choices.
