DYRS - Dept of Youth Rehab Services
The D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services is the local juvenile justice agency responsible for providing safe and stable secure residential and community-based programs to youth who have been committed to its care. Programming targeting committed youth is designed to expand opportunities to youth so that they can become more productive citizens and to reduce delinquent behavior. In addition, DYRS provides secure detention and effective detention alternative programs to detained youth who are placed under custody of the D.C. Superior Court’s Division of Social Services. The program goal for youth in the detention alternatives is to ensure that youth appear for scheduled court hearings without being re-arrested.>> more
