The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) is the code department[1][2] of the Illinois state government that acts as the state juvenile corrections agency.

The department was formed on July 1, 2006. Previously, the Illinois Department of Corrections managed Illinois' juvenile facilities.[3]

Facilities

[edit]

As of 2014, the Illinois Youth Center (IYC) facilities in operation included the following detention centers, statewide:[4]

Name Security level Sex
IYC Chicago Level 2 - Medium Male[4]
IYC Harrisburg Level 2 - Medium Male[4]
IYC Pere Marquette Level 3 - Minimum Male[4]
IYC St. Charles Level 2 - Medium Male[4]
IYC Warrenville Level 1 - Maximum Co-ed[4]

Harrisburg, St. Charles, Pere Marquette, and Chicago house juvenile male offenders while Warrenville houses juvenile female offenders. IYC Pere Marquette is a treatment facility for juvenile males. The majority of youths committed to the department from the Chicago area go first to IYC St. Charles.[4]

Facilities in Kewanee and Murphysboro, previously Illinois Youth Centers, were closed and reopened as Adult Life Skills and Reentry Centers.
