The Leon Regional Juvenile Detention Center is a 45 bed facility that hosues the juvenile offenders from the counties of Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, Franklin, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, and Wakulla. It provides around the clock surveillance and monitoring of the youth to ensure their safety and security, and staff interact throughout the day with the students. The operation of the facility is not only a group effort between the counties, but also includes contracts for medical support, mental health services, and an agreement with the local public school board that supplies teachers and curriculum for the facility.

The Leon Regional Juvenile Detention Center has a licensed capacity of 45 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in Florida turn over at least 35-40% of their population monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually charged with serious crimes such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Leon County facilities much longer.
Approximately 20,900 offenders are arrested and detained every year by Leon County law enforcement agencies.
