Background:
The department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) operates the Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) in downtown Minneapolis. This project will improve several areas of the JDC.
Mods/day rooms: There are three living mods on each floor and every living mod has a day room and office where staff work and prep meals.
