The BCJH was established to provide temporary care and services in secure and safe custody to juveniles ages 10-17 who are charged of a crime, adjudicated, pending court action or awaiting transfer to another facility and who cannot be served in an open setting. The Bay County Juvenile Home is committed to treating youth in a least restrictive manner which respects the individual while providing a safe and secure environment for all residents and staff. Basic purposes of the facility are to:

  • Provide a safe and secure environment for residents and staff.
  • Provide for resident's basic needs, such as shelter, food, clothing and access to emergency medical and dental care.
  • Prevent the violation of resident's legal rights during detainment at the Bay County Juvenile Home.
  • Provide for the physical, emotional, religious, educational and social needs during detainment.
  • House the youth in a safe and humane environment, maintaining the level of security necessary to prevent escape and assures that the youth lives free of fear assault or intimidation.
