Crossroads Juvenile Center Information

The intake for juvenile offenders at Crossroads Juvenile Center is comprehensive and sets up their entire stay at the center. It allows their case worker to see where they are starting and what services, programs, and treatments they require. A full educational assessment, mental health assessment, social service assessment, and gathering of necessary background and documentation takes place. It is at this time that the family, their parents or guardians, are contacted for filling out the consent forms and providing other information, and they will in turn receive all necessary information on how to receive calls from their youth and how often they can expect calls, as well as when they can visit. Once this has been completed the case worker will arrange their schoolwork in the classroom with the provided teachers from the local schoolboard, set up mental health support, counseling, and other needs, and ensure all medical needs are cared for. Recreational activities are also provided, and the facilities were built to have an environment similar to a school or a home, which has been proven to result in lower recidivism and higher rehabilitation results over a traditional jail environment. Mail: Crossroads Juvenile Center 17 Bristol Street Brooklyn, NY 11212 Phones: Approved family members will be permitted to accept calls from their child regularly. Visitation: Both in person visits with a negative COVID test and virtual visits are provided for the immediate families of the juveniles at the facility.
