Cambria County Juvenile Detention Center Information

In April of 2016 the commissioners voted to close the Cambria County Juvenile Detention Center and it has not been reopened. In the wake of that decision, all juveniles were to be housed at the nearest facility. By 2021 a privately owned and operated juvenile facility was in place to securely house up to 12 juveniles in a rented facility, where juveniles from Allegheny County were held. As with other juvenile detention centers, it houses juvenile offenders who are over the age of 12 and under the age of 18 while they await their court date, or they have finished a sentence that was provided to them. While under the care and protection of the detention center each youth will receive healthy meals, snacks, laundry services as well as clothing and bedding, required medication and all other medical care, mental health support including counseling or any therapy required, and both education and recreation. Family reunification is supported through mail, phone calls, and visits to the facility, to encourage the family to remain supportive and to ensure youth have a support system when they return to their community. Mail: 557 Manor Dr Ebensburg, PA 15931 Phones: Juveniles may call a parent or guardian during their phone privileges time, and they are able to contact only those numbers that have been previously approved. Visitation: Parents, guardians, and other approved visitors may arrange a visit through the facility directly by contacting the office.
