Governor: Adair, Fayette, Warren to become high-security JDCs From Crystal Staley/Morgan Hall Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, December 15, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear outlined a new system where the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) will operate three high-security detention centers for male juveniles 14 years of age or older who have been charged with offenses indicating a higher potential for violent, disruptive behavior. "The current juvenile justice system has been in place for over 20 years, and it has not evolved to fit the needs of today's at-risk youth and adequately respond to increased youth violence and involvement in gangs," said Gov. Beshear. "A new detention classification system will allow DJJ and the commonwealth to better enhance public safety while ensuring that Kentucky's youth have the tools and opportunities for a successful second chance." Last week, the Governor stated that the existing regional model system is outdated and has hindered the ability of DJJ to ensure the safety of youth and staff. Today, the Governor provided details on the three facilities designated as high-security and how they were selected based on the current charges of the youth population, number of detention center beds available and proximity to highways.
