Officials see new opportunities for juveniles at old Shelby Training Center
Resident Supervisor Cassandra Clark, with Core Civic, staffs the control room as Shelby County Commissioners tour the former Shelby Training Center on Feb. 12, 2020, which is being considered for a possible juvenile detention facility. The county had budgeted $25 million for a new facility, but Sheriff Floyd Bonner has said a new building won't be finished in time to meet a federal deadline that bans housing minors in adult facilities.
