LaPorte Juvenile Correctional Facility

Erected in 1953 to house trustee inmates from the Indiana State Prison, which operated a full-service facility until 1977. The facility was then converted to an adult male work release center which had a capacity of 80 Incarcerated Individuals. The facility's mission changed once again in 1992 when it was modified to a level 2 woman's facility which operated until 1993.

In February 1995, the facility was reopened as Camp Summit Boot Camp (CSBC), a juvenile male facility. CSBC was a medium security facility that utilized a paramilitary approach during a six-month program. The facility had the ability to house 94 students between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. The students were classified to the boot camp program with a wide variety of charges: drugs, property and personal offenses, (with the exceptions of serious violent crimes), and other lesser offenses. In November 2017, LaPorte Juvenile Correctional facility (LPJCF) was established by converting Camp Summit Boot Camp into a female juvenile facility. The facility is situated on sixty acres in LaPorte, Indiana. The main building comprises of housing units, kitchen/dining area and administrative offices. LPJCF can house up to sixty-two (62) female youth. It is the only female juvenile facility in Indiana. LaPorte Juvenile also serves as the intake facility for female youth, and court ordered diagnostic evaluations.
