Carson City Juvenile Detention Center is a secure holding facility for the temporary detention of juvenile offenders. N.R.S. 62B.210 mandates that the facility be “constructed and conducted as nearly like a home as possible.” Within this framework, our mission is twofold:
Protecting the community by securely housing juveniles that may be or have been involved in activities injurious to the public; and
Providing for the safe and secure detention of juveniles detained within the facility
The Detention Center is incorporated in the Murphy-Bernardini Regional Juvenile Justice Center located at 1545 East Fifth Street, Carson City, Nevada. Detention capacity is 18 beds in single sleeping rooms. Juvenile housing consists of two wings, one wing 6 single beds and the second wing consisting of 12 single bed units. The detention facility also contains education, recreation yard with basketball court and a low element ropes course, kitchen/dining, laundry, maintenance, storage, multipurpose room and day rooms in both wings. Surrounding the Detention Center is a fourteen foot chain link fence with wire mesh covering the top four feet. All of the living units were constructed in compliance with the Federal guidelines for Correctional facilities at the time they were constructed.
