Background
 

The Northern Virginia Juvenile Detention Center (NVJDC) is seeking a comprehensive upgrade to its control room and integrated security system for its facility, to include software and hardware, door and mechanical locks, two-way intercom communication, integration with the fire control system and cameras.

 

The NVJDC was dedicated in 1961 and underwent renovations in the 1980s which brought its rated capacity to 70 beds. The facility is one building comprised of five distinct housing units (one 10 bed unit, two 14 bed units and two 16 bed units), a full-service school operated by State Operated Programs -- Virginia Department of Education, an indoor gymnasium, cafeteria, medical clinic, and outside recreation areas featuring a basketball court and soccer field. The NVJDC is a twenty-four (24) hour a day, seven (7) day a week facility governed by the Juvenile Detention Commission of Northern Virginia, with oversight and regulatory compliance provided by the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice. The agency also ensures compliance with the Department of Justice and the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). The NVJDC is seeking to modernize its current security system installed in the early nineties with camera upgrades in 2019.
