The Monroe Juvenile Detention Center, equipped with 10 beds, operates as a hardware secure facility catering to youth detained by Circuit 16 Courts, mainly Key West and the rest of the Florida Keys. These youths remain in detention pending adjudication, disposition, or placement in a commitment facility.
The center prioritizes the supervision of youth within a safe, secure, and humane environment. It offers a range of services including education, mental health, substance abuse, and healthcare. Medical and mental health services are outsourced to local providers, while food services are managed by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. Educational needs are funded by the Department of Education through the local school district.
Structured recreational activities are provided daily for all youth, with the option of participating in religious services. This reflects the center's commitment to rehabilitating youth and preparing them for eventual reintegration into the community.
A typical day in secure detention involves routines such as hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and scheduled court appearances. On average, youths spend approximately 13 days in secure detention. In Florida, juvenile detention centers operate as short-term, temporary facilities for youth offenders requiring immediate supervision. Following their custody, juveniles undergo a detention hearing within 24 hours before a judge, who determines the necessity of continued detention based on specific statutory criteria.
Detention centers strive to provide a secure environment for detained youth, offering educational services, assessments, and full-time schooling funded by the Department of Education through local school districts. Additionally, medical, substance abuse, and mental health services are provided, including screenings, crisis intervention, and stabilization.
Youth in secure detention are viewed as risks to public safety and thus must remain in physically secure facilities while awaiting court proceedings. However, those charged with minor offenses and assessed as low-risk may be released to their parents or guardians.
Juvenile facilities overseen by the State of Florida do not publish the names of the offenders housed in their facility. As such, there is no public forum for this information.
