Note: 2014/2016 inspection – This LASE reflects the physical plant of this facility (1831 Ridge Road) regardless of program [JH, Pathways Academy (PA) and Furlough Treatment
and Rehabilitation (FTR)]. The rated capacity of the James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall is 170. * However, historically, the department has expanded and contracted its juvenile hall and
commitment programs using the beds at the juvenile hall and at the Juvenile Treatment Center (JTC; #7150, 1809 Ridge Road, formerly Crossroads). Previous LASEs show that
programs such as PA and FTR occasionally move between both buildings. As of the 2014/2016 inspection cycle, when the commitment programs reside at the juvenile hall, that
number of beds are taken away from the rated capacity of the juvenile hall.
