April 12, 2024
The Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth & Families (DCYF) is a state agency of Rhode Island, headquartered in DowntownProvidence.[1][2] The agency provides services for children and families.
The agency is responsible for the state's juvenile corrections. The Rhode Island Training School (RITS) is a secure residential facility for juvenile delinquents.[3] The facility is also known as the Rhode Island Youth Development Center.[4] RITS is located in Cranston.[5]
A previous facility, with separate facilities for adjudicated boys and girls, was constructed in the 1960s. By the 2000s, there were so few girls adjudicated in Rhode Island that they lived together in one unit and shared day schedules with boys.[6] In the 2000s, the state ordered the construction of a new RITS building.[7] In 2009 Governor of Rhode IslandDonald Carcieri proposed that Rhode Island Housing, a state agency that is set up like a corporation, buy the former RITS site in Cranston.[8]
