WESTMORELAND COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER TO REOPEN WEDNESDAY

The Westmoreland County Juvenile Detention Center will reopen on Wednesday. The Trib reports that the center will have four beds available while staffers continue to train. Westmoreland County Judge Michele Bononi is looking over a list of juveniles who would qualify to be housed at the facility and moved back. The portion of the Regional Youth Services Center that houses juvenile criminal offenders has been closed since June because of staffing shortages and operational problems. It temporarily closed following a series of state inspections after an incident last spring. Ten people have been hired for the juvenile detention center and two more positions are vacant.
