VIRGINIA BEACH JUVENILE DETENTION HOME

The Virginia Beach Juvenile Detention Home (VBJDH), located at 2512 George Mason Drive, serves as a secure, short-term residential facility for youth who have been ordered into custody by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. The primary mission of the facility is to provide a safe, structured, and rehabilitative environment for juveniles awaiting court appearances or placement in long-term treatment programs. While incarcerated, the youth are held in a secure setting that prioritizes safety and accountability while maintaining strict compliance with state regulatory standards for juvenile care.

Education and behavioral support are central components of the facility’s operations. The home provides an on-site educational program, often facilitated by local school divisions, ensuring that residents continue their academic progress despite their legal circumstances. Beyond academics, the facility offers various programs designed to address behavioral challenges, encourage personal responsibility, and provide counseling services. By integrating school-based instruction with daily supervision, the Virginia Beach Juvenile Detention Home strives to maintain a stable environment that prepares residents for their transition back into the community or to more permanent placement facilities.
