The Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) enhances public safety by providing effective accountability measures and interventions that improve the lives of court-involved youth up to the age of 21 and prepare them for success as productive citizens. In achieving this mission, DJJ currently operates 30 court service units and one juvenile correctional center and audits these operations, two locally operated court service units, 24 juvenile detention centers, six community placement programs, 12 detention re-entry programs, and 18 group homes. To reach its goals for both youth and staff, DJJ has developed a balanced approach for serving youth and the community. These strategies will continue to guide the Department toward fulfilling its mission of protecting the public by preparing court-involved youth to be successful citizens and members of their communities.
