Community leaders feel that the Juvenile Court should take more care in the pretrial release of teens accused of violent crimes. The court appears to be under pressure to release the accused juveniles because the detention facility is overcrowded. The juveniles are able to cut off the home detention bracelets or disregard them entirely. The Juvenile Court responds that it has guidelines for arraignment, one of which is that if a gun was allegedly part of the crime, there must be a compelling reason for release. Additionally, the court must consider the rights of the accused juvenile, who may be innocent. The magistrates typically contact the child's family to see how the child is behaving at home and at school, and whether an adult is at home to supervise the child. The court is attempting to obtain better home detention equipment. Question of Balance in Juvenile Justice by Rachell Dissell, The Plain Dealer, April 10, 2006.
