Since the young people in the custody of the New York City Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) are Juveniles, most information is held confidential, except with regard to their legal parent or guardian. The Agency is generally not permitted to release specific information about any youth except by court order.

Resident visits, held four times a week, are limited to approved-family members over the age of 18. On these pages, DJJ provides viewers with information on who can visit, visiting hours, directions, how to prepare for court and how to post bail.
