The Carroll County OH Juvenile Detention Center – Linda Martin Attention Center is a medium to low-security detention center located at 6807 Non-Pariel Road, Route 4 Wooster, OH that is operated locally by the Juvenile Justice Department and holds youths awaiting the determination of punishment for the crimes which they are accused. Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.

The Linda Martin Attention Center is a 20 bed facility that serves male and female youth under the age of 19. It is also used to house youth from the other three attention centers for safety and overcrowding reasons. It is located in the middle of a field in beautiful Wayne County making it an ideal location for a secure facility. The center is licensed by the Ohio Department of Youth Services. The Center was re-dedicated in 2001 as The Linda Martin Attention Center in honor of Linda Martin, a former Wayne County Juvenile Chief Probation Officer, original MCJAS Board of Trustees member and founding member of MCJAS. The primary goal of the Center is to carry out the mandates of the Ohio Revised Code by providing safe, secure, and humane temporary custody of youth held by the Juvenile Courts, length of stay is determined by the Courts. A major component of the center is the Responsible Behavior Program. The Program encompasses seven progressive levels. Youth earn their way to higher levels by demonstrating pro-social behavior and personal responsibility. Each level offers youth more privileges. Youth can also loose privileges through the program for major and minor behavior violations. Youth are provided clear direction and simple rules through our program that also identifies the strengths in each child and emphasizes them. The education program for the center is provided through the Tri-Way Local School District. High standards are set for all youth. The youth often find that they can be more successful at their school work based on the class sizes and challenging work. This is largely due to the teachers who work diligently to make sure that each youth’s needs are met regardless of their grade level. A high premium is set on reading and the Librarian from our Fredericksburg Library routinely brings in a wide variety of books for the youth to “check out”. On-line courses are now available for some students as part of our academic options. A variety of indoor and outdoor recreational activities (sports and games) are also available and physical exercise is scheduled daily.
