Oakley Youth Development Center (OYDC),[2] formerly known as Oakley Training School is a juvenile correctional facility of the Mississippi Department of Human Services located in unincorporated Hinds County, Mississippi,[3] near Raymond.[4] It is Mississippi's sole juvenile correctional facility for children adjudicated into the juvenile correctional system.[citation needed]
Oakley has a capacity of 150 students.[5] Oakley is located on a 1,068-acre (432 ha) plot of land surrounded by agricultural fields; the State of Mississippi states that the complex is about a 30-minute commute from Jackson.[6] Grantier Architecture designed a 6,598 square feet (613.0 m2) building of the school.[7] Only those who have been adjudicated delinquent for a felony or who has been adjudicated delinquent three or more times for a misdemeanor offense may be committed to Oakley. Oakley may retain custody of a child until the child's twentieth birthday but not for longer.[2] The facility is subject to a 2023 Memorandum of Agreement between the United States and Mississippi for care required at the facility.[8]
