The BARBARA CULVER JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER, located at 3800 N. Lamesa Rd. in Midland, Texas, serves as a secure residential facility operated under the jurisdiction of the Midland County Juvenile Probation Department. The primary purpose of this facility is to provide short-term, secure custody for youth who have been arrested or are awaiting court hearings. The center is designed to ensure public safety while managing the intake and temporary housing of juveniles who have been detained by law enforcement or ordered into custody by the juvenile court system.

Beyond its focus on security and containment, the facility aims to provide an environment that adheres to state-mandated standards for juvenile care. While in custody, residents are typically provided with essential services, including access to educational programming, mental health screenings, and nutritional support. The center operates with the objective of maintaining a structured environment, ensuring that the legal processes for the youth are facilitated efficiently while prioritizing the safety of both the detainees and the staff.
