Crisp Regional Youth Detention Center

Crisp Regional Youth Detention Center

The county of Crisp is the home for the regional detention center that serves the counties of Colquitt, Crisp, Dooly, Houston, Lee, Macon, Sumter, Tift, Turner and Worth. Each county has access to an allotment of 64 beds to house their juvenile offenders while they are waiting for their first court date, which determined if they will be held longer or released to their parents, or while they wait for their sentencing. After sentencing those who are committed to a short detention may remain in the facility while those who are sentenced to a longer sentence, or the maximum of two years will be transferred to the local Youth Development Campus. Though it is a short term facility it still has full services and offers a wide range of care, treatment, and rehabilitation opportunities along with educational and vocational training. High school classes are provided by licensed teachers during the week, with recreational time after classes and group activities throughout. Medical staff and contracts offer full medical treatments, mental health professionals offer mental health support, and both group and individual counseling is provided. Mail: While mail is permitted, letters are subject to search and there are strict rules around their delivery and contents. Mail must be addressed to the youth it is intended for, along with their ID number, at 130 Haralson Rd, Cordele, GA 31015. Phones: Each juvenile is allowed a list of people they may call and their phone numbers, and only those numbers that are approved will be permitted to make or receive calls from the youth. Visitation: Both onsite and remote video visits are permitted and can be completed using tablets or smartphones provided by the facility. When a youth has completed their orientation, and their schedule is set their approved visitors will be provided with visitation times.
