Juvenile Detention Center

The Juvenile Detention Center provides a physically restricting facility for the  short-term care of children apprehended for delinquency who require secure custody for their own protection or that of the community. The majority of children are held pending Court disposition or transfer to another jurisdiction or agency. A few children may be held  for as long as 30 days. All referrals come through the juvenile justice system.  For information on the Juvenile Detention Home call 703-792-7500.
