SCDJJ Juvenile Detention Complex
Housing the juvenile offenders who are over 10 years of age and under 21 years of age, the Abbeville County Juvenile Detention Center provides services to the county and surrounding counties as needed.

Learning opportunities are provided for life skills and social skills, and both groups and individual activities are provided throughout the week. Counseling and group therapy is available, and students are expected to stay with their strict schedule, remain where they are expected to be at all times, and care for their personal space.
