Lynchburg Juvenile Detention Home is a public school that is part of the Department of Education State-Operated Educ Prgms school district, located in Lynchburg, VA.

The Lynchburg Juvenile Detention Home, located at 1400 Florida Ave. in Lynchburg, Virginia, is a secure residential facility designed to provide temporary custody for youth who are awaiting court hearings or disposition. Operating under the jurisdiction of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, the facility’s primary objective is to maintain public safety while ensuring the constitutional rights and basic needs of the detained youth are met in a controlled, supervised environment.

Beyond basic housing and security, the institution places a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and educational continuity.
