The Long Creek Youth Development Center - ME DOC is within the jurisdiction of the Maine Department of Juvenile Justice located at 675 Westbrook St, South Portland, ME.
The facility provides supervision of youth in a safe, secure and humane environment. Services for youth include education, mental health, substance abuse, and health care. Medical and mental health are contracted services. Educational services are funded by the Maine Department of Education through local school districts.
A typical day in secure detention would involve hygiene, meals, school, structured physical and educational activities, and court appearance as scheduled. The average length of stay in secure state detention is approximately 60 days.
The Long Creek Youth Development Center, formerly known as the Boys Training Center, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1853 through an Act of the Legislature. Initially founded as a facility for the education and rehabilitation of youthful male offenders, it has evolved over the years to accommodate both male and female clients.
Located in South Portland, the center operates within a safe and secure environment aimed at fostering personal growth and success for its residents. In 1976, with the closure of the Stevens School, juvenile females were transferred to the center, which was subsequently renamed the Maine Youth Center.
In its latest iteration as the Long Creek Youth Development Center, the facility has undergone significant changes to enhance its program functions and adopt a multi-disciplined team approach to working with its residents. This approach reflects a commitment to providing comprehensive educational and rehabilitative resources within the state-wide correctional setting.
The center offers a wide range of services to meet the diverse needs of its juvenile offender population. These include care, custody, and security, as well as court evaluations, diagnostic services, and education provided through the A.R. Gould School. Additionally, residents have access to physical education and recreational activities, volunteer services, social services, and worship services.
Medical services are also available to ensure the health and well-being of residents. Through a holistic approach that addresses educational, social, and healthcare needs, the Long Creek Youth Development Center strives to create an environment where youth can learn, grow, and ultimately reintegrate into society as responsible and productive citizens.
