Harris County operates a network of detention facilities designed to house individuals at various stages of the criminal justice process. The most prominent among them is Jail 701, a high-capacity correctional facility in downtown Houston known for housing adult inmates. Complementing this is the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center, which serves minors awaiting court proceedings or placement, offering structured programs focused on rehabilitation and education. Additionally, the Harris County Youth Village provides a more open, residential setting for adjudicated youth, emphasizing personal growth, behavioral improvement, and reintegration into the community. Together, these facilities reflect Harris County’s multi-tiered approach to incarceration and rehabilitation for both adults and juveniles.
