The Collin County juvenile detention facility is required to safely house, supervise, and rehabilitate juvenile offenders who have been lawfully detained for delinquent conduct under juvenile law. The facility must adhere to rigorous statutory requirements prescribed by Texas Administrative Codes 343, 344, and the Prison-Rape Elimination Act (PREA) which includes mandatory minimums for supervision ratios for referred youth.
