Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections

The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC) is responsible for youth committed to its jurisdiction by the county juvenile courts. ADJC is accountable to the citizens of Arizona for the promotion of public safety through the evidence-based treatment, supervision, rehabilitation, and education of the youth committed to its care and the continuum of programs and services provided to the youth transitioning from the state's secure care facility back to their communities. ADJC also facilitates the administration of the Interstate Commission for Juveniles and serves youth with significant mental health needs.
