The Ramsey County MN Juvenile Detention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 25 West 7th St St. Paul, MN 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 Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center serves as a secure facility for juvenile male and female offenders up to 18 years old, awaiting legal proceedings such as initial hearings, trials, court dispositions, or placements. With a capacity of 44 beds and an average stay of around eight days, the center accommodates residents in five living units, each equipped with individual rooms, along with an additional four-room Special Housing Unit.

Annually, the center temporarily houses approximately 1,000 juveniles from neighboring counties and law enforcement agencies, ensuring their basic needs are met and their legal rights upheld. The mission of the center is to protect the community while improving the lives of residents through dignified treatment and quality programs within a culturally sensitive, safe, secure, and structured environment.

A typical day at the center includes various activities such as meals, school, rest periods, recreational opportunities, and religious services. Staff-facilitated discussions address educational topics tailored to residents' needs, providing new perspectives and nurturing relationship-based authority to foster a sense of safety. Religious programs, including chaplain services and Sunday church services, are offered, alongside faith-based materials for residents.

Schooling is provided by fully licensed teachers from the Saint Paul Public Schools system, offering general and special education classes. Health services, administered by the Ramsey County Public Health Department, include assessments upon admission, medical and mental health screenings, acute and chronic care, pharmacy services, and DNA and urine sample collections as ordered by the courts. Mental health services, such as crisis intervention and psychological evaluations, are also available to all residents as needed.
