Locate Foote Youth Custody

Foote Youth Overview

Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center is operated by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Youth Services. CDHS describes it as a secure youth detention center at 13500 E. Fremont Place in Centennial. It serves detained youth ages 10 through 17 and has 36 beds. The facility is physically near the Arapahoe County court and detention corridor, but it is a youth services center, not an adult county jail, city jail, state prison, or federal facility.

Marvin W. Foote custody language should follow the facility type. Young people held at Marvin W. Foote should be described as detained youth or youth in DYS custody, not as adult inmates. Juvenile custody and youth court information are restricted in ways that adult jail records are not. A parent, guardian, attorney, or authorized party may have legitimate contact and records routes, while the general public should not expect a searchable public roster.

The official CDHS Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center page is the direct source for the facility's capacity, age range, program description, visitation appointment note, address, and contact numbers.

That CDHS source is also why the facility should be routed through youth-services contacts instead of the ACSO adult charge and bond lookup.

Foote Youth Capacity

CDHS lists Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center as a 36-bed secure youth detention center. The research identifies the youth age range as 10 through 17. It also notes the center has historically served youth from the 18th Judicial District area, including Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert, and Lincoln counties, while cautioning that district boundaries changed after the 23rd Judicial District split. Because of that, broad historical catchment language should be handled carefully.

No public daily population dashboard or adult-style booking count was located for Marvin W. Foote. That is expected for a youth facility. The capacity number can be used because CDHS publishes it, but youth identity, custody status, court records, education records, and family details should not be treated like public adult jail roster material.

Foote Custody Records

There is no public adult inmate roster for Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center. Do not use the ACSO charge and bond lookup to search for a detained youth at this CDHS facility. The ACSO tool is for adult county-jail custody. It does not function as a juvenile detention roster, and it should not be used to infer whether a youth is or is not in DYS custody.

Authorized contacts should use facility and juvenile-court channels. The CDHS page lists the main facility phone at 303-768-7529 and admissions at 303-768-7520. Attorneys, parents, guardians, legal custodians, and other authorized parties may need to provide identity, relationship, court-case context, or DYS authorization before information can be discussed. The Arapahoe County research also shows sheriff records workflows treat juvenile records differently, including relationship and proof-of-identity fields in the ACSO records request portal.

1. Use the CDHS facility contact numbers rather than an adult jail roster.
2. Call the main line at 303-768-7529 or admissions at 303-768-7520, depending on the question.
3. Be ready to explain the authorized relationship to the detained youth.
4. For court questions, use the juvenile-court or attorney channel tied to the youth's case.
5. For emergency safety concerns or treatment complaints, use the appropriate CDHS or ombudsman route.

Foote Center Contact

The CDHS facility contact block lists Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center at 13500 E. Fremont Place, Centennial, CO 80112. The main phone is 303-768-7529. Admissions is listed at 303-768-7520, with admissions fax 303-768-7525 and general fax 303-768-7516. Those numbers are the proper first contacts for authorized family, guardian, attorney, admissions, and facility-specific questions.

CDHS also directs users to RTD for bus route information. The facility is close to, but distinct from, the adult ACSO jail on South Potomac Street and the Arapahoe County court buildings nearby. Adult county jail custody under Sheriff Tyler S. Brown's office uses the ACSO charge and bond lookup, while court-location questions can route through the Arapahoe County court page.

Foote Youth Visits

CDHS says families are encouraged to visit youth at Marvin W. Foote, but space is limited and all visits require a scheduled appointment. The research notes that visitation requests should be made by contacting the control center at 303-768-7520 according to the page text, while the contact block also lists Control at 303-768-7529. Because those two references differ by page context, call the facility main line if the appointment route is unclear.

Visitation at a secure youth center is not the same as adult jail video visitation. The ACSO GettingOut and ViaPath process applies to adult county jail inmates at the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility. For Marvin W. Foote, appointment scheduling, visitor approval, family involvement, and youth privacy run through CDHS and DYS facility rules.

Foote Family Channels

The research did not locate a public commissary deposit table, mail-scanning address, phone-rate schedule, or tablet vendor for Marvin W. Foote comparable to ACSO's adult jail services. That is another sign that the adult facility template must be adapted to the youth-services setting. For detained youth, authorized family and guardian involvement, education, treatment, and court process are the central channels.

CDHS states that family is an integral part of the team working with youth involved in DYS and links family information, a family handbook, a youth handbook, visitation procedure documents, visitation frequency and hours documents, voting rights information, and education forms. Mail, calls, property, and money questions should be asked through the facility because rules may depend on the youth's status, approval list, treatment plan, and court orders.

Foote Youth Intake

Intake at Marvin W. Foote should be described as youth detention admission, not adult booking. DYS youth may be held through juvenile-court, detention, commitment, or related youth-services decisions. The research cautions against assuming all youth at Foote are adult-equivalent inmates. It also notes that DYS descriptions can include pre-adjudicated or committed youth in the broader system, so case status should be confirmed through authorized legal or facility channels.

The custody path can involve law enforcement, juvenile court, parents or guardians, defense counsel, probation or DYS staff, and education or treatment staff. A public web roster would be the wrong model for that process. Authorized adults should keep case numbers, court information, and proof of relationship available when contacting the facility or juvenile-court channel.

Foote Programs Conditions

CDHS describes Marvin W. Foote's mission as protecting, restoring, and improving public safety through supervision, accountability to victims and communities, and skill building. The center uses adaptive pro-social behavioral management based on social learning and cognitive behavioral theory. Services include individualized education, restorative community justice, and life skills education. The research also notes that Cherry Creek School District 5 provides licensed teaching staff and that detained youth can earn credits toward a diploma or GED.

CDHS says the center is certified by the Sanctuary Institute, which is a facility-specific condition and program detail. The page also points to Colorado's Child Protection Ombudsman for concerns about youth experiences or treatment in DYS centers. The research lists the ombudsman phone numbers as 720-625-8640 and 866-276-8646 toll free. Those concern routes are different from custody confirmation and should be used for treatment or youth-experience issues rather than general inmate search questions.
