The Hualapai Juvenile Detention Center is within the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of Juvenile Justice located at 104 Highview Drive, Peach Springs, AZ.

The facility provides supervision of youth in a safe, secure and humane environment. Services for youth include education, mental health, substance abuse, and health care. Medical and mental health are contracted services. Educational services are funded by the Arizona Department of Education through local school districts.

A typical day in secure detention would involve hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and court appearance as scheduled. The average length of stay in secure state detention is approximately 60 days.

The Hualapai Juvenile Detention and Rehabilitation Center (HJDRC) is a 30 bed facility with three holding cells, a recreation yard, garden, green house, and a sweat lodge. In April 2009, HJDRC started to house local juveniles. Throughout the day the youth’s time is primarily spent in an on-site classroom with educational programming to follow. School is attended Monday thru Friday year-around.

PPWS Program

The Positive Warrior Work Service (PWWS) is a program that was implemented in 2011. It is an incentive program for the youth who can earn participation through good behavior. The program also embodies community involvement by chopping wood for elders, yard cleaning, and participating in any community event. With this program the youth have been able to attend events such as Native American Legislation Day, Ropes Course, Skywalk, La Paz run, movies, bowling. This program demonstrates to the youth that there are healthier ways to have fun.

Green Re-Entry Program

The Hualapai Indian Tribe was one of three tribes in the country to be awarded a four-year Tribal Detention and Reentry Green program. This endeavor is to cultivate and deepen tribal culture, promote community service, academic and vocational skills, and reduce alcohol and drug use. The Green- entry program was awarded in 2009 and concluded in September of 2015.
