The McCracken Regional Juvenile Detention Center houses male juveniles who are either under 14 years of age or who have been charged with misdemeanors.

The female juvenile residents will be located in the Campbell County female only detention center in future. Juveniles will find themselves held at the location for short periods while they await their own court dates or trials, or a detention hearing, or while they are waiting to be transferred to an alternative location that is better suited to their needs. It is operated by the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice along with the other seven youth detention centers, transportation for the juveniles, six developmental centers, and nine group homes. During any length of detention there are healthy meals provided several times a day, laundry is done regularly to provide clean clothing and bedding, the facility is cleaned each day and throughout the day, and access to medical care, dental care, and mental health care is provided.
