The Washtenaw County Youth Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 4125 Washtenaw Ave Ann Arbor, MI 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 Washtenaw County Youth Center, a division of Washtenaw County Children's Services, is responsible for providing temporary custody and care for juveniles in a safe and secure setting. Juveniles that are placed in our Youth Center are temporarily detained pending disposition of court programs, or often awaiting transfer to another facility or placement that cannot be served in an open setting. The Youth Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 365 days per year.

The Youth Center asks that you read the handbook so you may have a safe and positive visiting experience.
