Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.

The Dr. Jerome McNeil Jr. Detention Center houses youth who have been arrested by police agencies and charged with an offense or who have violated conditions of probation. During a youth’s stay in detention, staff gathers information regarding the child’s family, school, medical and psychological histories. This information helps make informed court decisions about the youth’s future. Often removed from chaotic environments, youth need immediate medical and therapeutic attention while in detention. They receive necessary medical and dental care, psychological testing and consultation, crisis stabilization and counseling, and educational assessment and instruction. Community partners provide enrichment programs such as special speakers and art classes. The detention center provides a safe, secure, and stable rehabilitative environment.

Someone is available 24 hours a day to speak with parents or legal guardians regarding their child. Parent or guardian identity must be verified.
