Starr County Juvenile Detention Center

Starr County currently faces challenges with outdated and inadequate juvenile housing facilities, which are crucial for community safety and rehabilitation. The planned updates to the Starr County Juvenile Detention Center aim to improve facilities for housing and rehabilitating juveniles, providing essential support services and educational opportunities. By enhancing these facilities, Starr County will better address the needs of youth, offering them a chance at rehabilitation and contributing positively to society. This updated center will also serve as a regional hub for surrounding rural communities like Jim Hogg, Duval, and Zapata counties, addressing their shared challenges with juvenile rehabilitation and support services.
