Yellowstone County Detention Facility

The Yellowstone County Detention Facility is a relatively small detention center located in Yellowstone Montana. It was built to house fewer than 200 inmates, however, an significant increase in the inmate population initiated expansion efforts, which were undertaken in 1995. 
 
 
The Yellowstone County Detention Facility is primarily dedicated to containing and supervising adult offenders. Both violent and non-violent criminals are housed within this facility. Juvenile offenders are generally placed in the care of alternative juvenile detention centers throughout the state of Montana. One such juvenile hall is the Cascade County Regional Youth Services Center, located in Great Fall, Montana. This facility plays an important role in the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders, as do other juvenile halls throughout the state.
 
 
The Cascade County Regional Youth Services Center offers juvenile offenders with a safe environment to serve sentences. This facility is reserved for individuals who are between the ages of 10 and 18, and who have been charged with a crime. This detention facility offers offenders with access to beneficial services and important resources. Within this detention facility, juveniles will receive a proper education. 
 
 
Schooling is year round and classes are taught be certified teachers. In addition to an education, juvenile offenders placed in this facility also have access to recreational services and therapeutic services. The Cascade County Regional Youth Services Center maintains 24 beds, and provides long term care to juvenile offenders.
