Monroe Juvenile Detention Center

The Monroe Juvenile Detention Center is a 10 bed, hardware secure facility that serves youth detained by Circuit 16 Courts. Youth are detained pending adjudication, disposition or placement in commitment facility.

The facility provides supervision of youth in a safe, secure and humane environment. Services for youth include: education, mental health, substance abuse, and health care. Medical and mental health services are contracted with local providers; food services are provided through the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. Educational services are funded by the Department of Education through the local school district.

A typical day in secure detention would involve hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and court appearance as scheduled. The average length of stay in secure detention is approximately 13 days.

Please contact the Superintendent if interested in donating time and/or resources to enhance detention program activities.

Note: Parents, grandparents, and legal guardians are approved visitors. Others may only visit if so ordered by the court or specifically approved by the superintendent or designee. Legal counsel, probation, law enforcement and clergy and other professionals may visit detainees as necessary, but are subject to the same requirements regarding signing-in and contraband. All visitors must have a photo ID.
