In a recent inspection and review conducted by the Ohio Department of Youth Services, the Richland County Juvenile Detention Facility was found to be in compliance with all 189 mandatory and recommended standards.
“I want to publically acknowledge and thank the entire detention facility staff, whose daily efforts to assist our youth have made this possible,” said Juvenile Court Judge Steve McKinley.
The standards are set forth by the Ohio Administrative Code and govern the operation of Ohio juvenile detention centers, monitoring such areas as facility management, personnel, training, safety, security, and juvenile rights.
