Once in Youth Justice Center, detention officers are responsible for the juvenile and the juvenile is expected to follow the rules of the Youth Justice Center.

In addition to school, youth are given 1 hour physical activity 7 days a week. All juveniles are given the option to participate in all exercise activities while unit staff supervises. Physical contact is not permitted. Staff provides structured physical activities for juveniles.
