Cuyahoga County Juvenile Detention Center officials are seeking to hire more officers to mitigate what is beign called dangerous understaffing.
Cuyahoga County Juvenile Justice Center CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cuyahoga County’s juvenile detention center is understaffed to the point where it is dangerous for everyone involved, juvenile court officials say.
That’s why the Juvenile Detention Center wants to add 26 detention officers and increase pay, which would add $2 million to the annual budget, McDevitt said. McDevitt said the juvenile center is already moving juveniles to less restrictive environments whenever possible. But that isn’t always possible when they are convicted of violent crimes or struggle with severe mental health issues, he said.
The detention officers are “dedicated” and “want to be there,” but are getting burned out working in difficult conditions, Stanton said.base pay for corrections officers who oversee adult inmates at the county jail“We do believe our detention officers should make the same pay as corrections officers,” McDevitt said in an email. “Working in a juvenile detention center is incredibly challenging work and we must offer competitive compensation to attract and retain the staff that we need.
