The LaPorte County Juvenile Detention is a medium to low-security detention center located at 364 S Ziegler Rd LaPorte, IN 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 purpose of the LaPorte County Dorothy S. Crowley Juvenile Services Center (JSC) is to provide services and programs to the Juvenile Courts of LaPorte County.
