Juvenile corrections
Juvenile corrections fall under the purview of the Bureau of Juvenile Justice Services (BJJS), which oversees Pennsylvania's facilities for adjudicated delinquent youth. These facilities, known as "youth development centers," serve as correctional institutions for juveniles.
The department operates several facilities and forestry camps:
Loysville Youth Development Center (LYDC) - Tyrone Township, Perry County.
North Central Secure Treatment Unit (NCSTU) - On the grounds of Danville State Hospital.
South Mountain Secure Treatment Unit (South Mountain).
Youth Forestry Camp #2 - Hickory Run State Park.
Youth Forestry Camp #3 - Trough Creek State Park.
Some former facilities include the New Castle Youth Development Center (NCYDC) - Shenango Township, Lawrence County - and the Cresson Secure Treatment Unit (CSTU), which is no longer operational. As of October 1995, the juvenile facilities were operating at overcapacity.
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services is committed to fulfilling its mission of serving and protecting the welfare of individuals and families in Pennsylvania.
