Monmouth County Youth Detention Center

It is the mission of the Monmouth County Youth Detention Center to provide safe and secure detention for juveniles remanded to the care of the agency by the Monmouth County Superior Court and other referral agencies. YDC is a temporary holding facility and the admissions and discharge of juveniles is controlled by the Monmouth County Superior Court, Family Division. The Center's objectives are to minimize the potentially damaging effects of confinement in as secure and non-threatening atmosphere that supports a juvenile's physical, emotional, and social development. Within the scope of our mission, the Monmouth County Youth Detention Center provides medical, educational, recreational, vocational, correctional, mental health, and social services to attempt to meet identified needs of the juvenile.
