Chatham Youth Development Center Information

Chatham Youth Development Center is one of the secure facilities to house female juvenile offenders and juvenile delinquents in a secure location. It opened in 2008 and has 24 beds within its self-contained complex. As a development center, it is one of the most secure of the facilities and maintains a strict routine and expectations for both youth and staff.
