The Mini-Cassia Juvenile Probation Department is a
dual-county effort providing services to youthful offenders and their
families in Minidoka and Cassia counties, with one Magistrate Judge
presiding over all court cases falling within the purview of the Idaho
Juvenile Corrections Act. An Executive Board of elected county officials
from both counties oversees the entire program, which has its focus on
the Balanced Approach theory of community safety, youth accountability
and competency development.
This department currently has 11 employees. There are two field offices
--- the Cassia County office is housed in the Cassia County Courthouse
at Burley, Idaho, while the Minidoka County office is located at 614 7th
Street (P.O. Box 368) in Rupert, Idaho. There is also a School
