The Caliente Youth Center (CYC) is a secure juvenile residential facility located 150 miles north of Las Vegas in Caliente. There are seven housing units situated on 35 acres with a maximum capacity of 112 youth. CYC serves male and female youth between 12 years old and 19 years old. CYC is authorized and governed by NRS Chapter 63, State Facilities for Detention of Children, and those applicable statutes contained within NRS Chapter 62A, Juvenile Justice General Provisions. The programming at CYC addresses delinquent youth who may have also been victims of abuse, abandonment and neglect, working closely with both public and private agencies in accomplishing goals. Staff from CYC coordinate with the Nevada Youth Parole Bureau and the Interstate Compact on Juveniles to ensure the youth receive the best possible aftercare services once they are released from CYC's jurisdiction. Youth who apply themselves to reach their goals in the shortest time possible typically achieve parole release within six to seven months. Statutory Authority: NRS Chapter 63.
