The Michigan Juvenile Detention Association will continue to be a national leader in promoting and sustaining of exemplary juvenile detention, residential treatment, and community based services for youth and their families.
The Michigan Juvenile Detention Association is committed to the highest standard of professional ethics, overall excellence in the care and custody of youth, and the provision of services to their families.
Community members of the Central District and beyond have been trying to prevent the construction — and now opening — of the Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center, which is widely known as the youth jail, since King County voters approved a property tax increase in 2012 to pay for it.
