The Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 28528 Hwy 90 Covington, LA that is operated locally by the Juvenile Justice Department and holds youths awaiting the determination of punishment for the crimes which they are accused. Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.
The Florida Parishes Juvenile Justice District, along with its facilities, is committed to leading efforts in addressing the needs of at-risk youth and those already involved in the juvenile justice system. Through rehabilitation and the promotion of pro-social behaviors, the district aims to guide juveniles toward positive pathways while ensuring their environments remain safe and supportive. Upholding the safety of both communities and individuals within its facilities is paramount to the district's mission.
Established in 1986 by La. R.S. 15:1094, the Florida Parishes Juvenile Justice District operates across the Twenty-First and Twenty-Second Judicial Districts, encompassing Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes. Governed by La. R.S. 15:1094.1, the district is overseen by the Florida Parishes Juvenile Justice Commission, composed of eight commissioners dedicated to managing its affairs.
The Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center (FPJDC) was first occupied in October 1992, following delays due to state funding issues. With an initial capacity of 31 beds, the center officially opened in January 1994. Subsequent expansions in 1999 and 2011 increased capacity to 133 beds, accommodating the growing population post-Hurricane Katrina.
The FPJDC's commitment to excellence led to accreditation by the American Correctional Association (ACA) in 1995, with subsequent expansions funded by a voter-approved property tax. Notably, the center transitioned to Performance Based Standards (PbS) accreditation post-2005, focusing on performance-driven outcomes across all areas of operation.
Today, the FPJDC stands as a nationally recognized detention facility, implementing best practices and research-based approaches to juvenile detention. Through ongoing evaluation and improvement, the district continues its mission to provide effective rehabilitation and support for at-risk youth.
Juvenile facilities overseen by Florida Parishes County do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
