AOC-YAVAPAI COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER

AOC-Yavapai County Juvenile Detention Center is a public high school that is part of the Yavapai County Juvenile Justice Center (79533) school district, located in Prescott, AZ with about 12 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade.

The AOC-Yavapai County Juvenile Detention Center, located at 960 Division St in Prescott, Arizona, serves as a secure facility dedicated to the temporary housing and rehabilitation of youth who have been remanded to custody by the juvenile court system. Operated under the oversight of the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), the center is designed to provide a controlled environment that prioritizes safety and security while addressing the legal requirements and developmental needs of detained minors.

Beyond its primary function of detention, the facility places a significant emphasis on maintaining continuity of care for the residents, particularly regarding their education and behavioral health. By providing on-site schooling, the center ensures that youth remain engaged in academic learning during their stay, aiming to reduce the disruption to their long-term educational progress. The staff works to balance the rigors of a secure juvenile justice environment with evidence-based programming intended to foster personal growth, accountability, and the eventual successful reintegration of these individuals back into their communities.
