Clayton County Youth Development and Justice Center Information

The Clayton County Youth Development and Justice Center is located in Jonesboro, Georgia and it houses the Juvenile Court and the related programs. The focus is on the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative and works towards reducing the number of juveniles who are detained or sentenced to a detention facility. A high rate of success and visible decreases in the incarceration of local youth has resulted in this location being seen as a blueprint for other areas to follow. Prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation are all key approaches, and each step attempts to keep the families involved as much as possible, with all alternatives to incarceration being considered before any juvenile offender is committed to a facility for detention. Some of the alternatives to incarceration include community service, house supervision, probation, and rehabilitation programs. Youth who require addictions treatment will receive that, as well as counseling and programs that will provide them with the coping skills necessary to avoid using substances to cope. There is no holding facility at this location, but it does house not only the court but also the offices for those who are responsible for enforcing the sentences, supplying alternatives, and follow up with probation and other programs.
