Barrett Juvenile Correctional Center
Barrett Juvenile Correctional Center, Juvenile correctional facility in Mechanicsville, United States
The Barrett Juvenile Correctional Center spans multiple buildings designed by Richmond architect Merrill C. Lee, featuring mid-20th century architectural elements at 11391 Barrett Center Road.
Founded in 1915 as the Virginia Industrial Home School for Colored Girls, the center operated under Janie Porter Barrett's leadership with focus on education rather than punishment.
The Virginia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs established this institution to create educational opportunities for African American girls during the segregation period.
The facility maintains specific visiting schedules and communication protocols, requiring visitors to contact (804)746-2135 for current information about inmate visitation policies.
The center transformed from an all-girls institution to a coeducational facility in 1977, then exclusively served male juveniles from 1978 until its closure in 2005.
