School Overview

The facility located on West Burlington Street in Bordentown, New Jersey, is known as the **New Jersey Training School for Boys** (often referred to as the Juvenile Medium Secure Facility or JMSF). Operated by the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC), it serves as a secure residential setting for male youth who have been adjudicated delinquent by the courts. As a medium-secure facility, its primary purpose is to provide a structured, rehabilitative environment that balances public safety with the developmental needs of incarcerated adolescents.

The school’s programming is designed to address both the educational and behavioral needs of its residents. It typically offers a state-approved academic curriculum, vocational training, and various rehabilitative services, including mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, and life-skills development. The overall objective is to reduce recidivism by preparing these young individuals for successful reintegration into their communities through consistent supervision, academic progress, and therapeutic intervention.
