The Henley-Young Juvenile Justice Detention Center is a secure facility based on semi-military style, which allows for constructive discipline of the incarcerated youth who have been accused of violating the law. It is a 365/24-hour facility.

    All youth admitted in the Center are between 10-17 years of age. The Center provides an incentive program that helps the incarcerated youth to cope with life skills. The Center also provides psychological counseling and has a full-time school with certified teaching staff. There is a fully staffed kitchen with a certified School Lunch Program Manager who provides three hot meals daily, as well as scheduled snacks.

    The eighty-four beds, 52,058 square feet Juvenile Detention facility, consist of several components: Administrative, Booking, Central Control Center, and four Pod areas (A, B, C, D) which includes twenty-two expansion units, recreation area, dining area, Educational Complex, non-contact visitation area, as well as a professional support service staff. The Center is designed to house short-term sentencing for both male and female juveniles that have been accused of a misdemeanor or felony crime.
