Facility Overview
JCC–Lewiston provides a highly structured, staff-secure program using a Social Learning model based on the Positive Peer Culture foundation. The program provides custody and treatment of male juveniles whose criminal history requires services beyond the community. The Lewiston program adheres to the five pillared approach of targeted treatment, education, counseling, family engagement, and skills building. In addition, the program focuses on cognitive skills building designed to alter criminal thinking patterns and requires that juveniles are accountable for behavior and rewarded for progress.
