WARREN REGIONAL JUVENILE DETENTION CTR

Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Ctr is a public high school that is part of the Bowling Green Independent school district, located in Bowling Green, KY with about 13 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Ctr has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Center, located at 1020 Kentucky Street in Bowling Green, Kentucky, functions as a secure residential facility operated by the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Its primary purpose is to provide short-term, secure custody for youth who have been charged with delinquent offenses and are awaiting court proceedings or disposition. The facility is designed to ensure public safety while maintaining the constitutional rights of the residents, operating under state mandates to provide a structured and supervised environment for juveniles transitioning through the legal system.

Beyond its custodial role, the center is mandated to provide necessary services for the youth in its care, which includes access to educational programming, mental health support, and medical services. The facility aims to maintain a secure environment that prioritizes the safety of both staff and residents, while facilitating the logistical requirements of the juvenile justice process, such as transportation to court appearances and coordination with social services. It serves as a central hub for the regional area, upholding the DJJ’s standards for rehabilitation and secure detention within the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
