Program Description:
The Muscogee Youth Development Campus is located on 42 acres of land east of Columbus, Georgia. The site is shared with the Judge Aaron Cohn Regional Youth Detention Center. The overall objective of the Muscogee YDC is to foster the image of a “village” by using residential building materials and facilitating effective movement of small groups (families) from cottages to school and after school programs. It is designed to house medium to low risk youth who are incarcerated for the first time.

The Muscogee YDC used the term “cottage culture” which is a combination of behavioral, normative, functional, cognitive and structural definitions of the word culture. In establishing the “cottage culture” at the Muscogee YDC, staff and youth learn to share ideas, values, ways of problem solving and rules for living that foster a positive environment for changing behavior thus reducing the possibilities of previous behaviors which resulted in involvement with the Juvenile Justice system. The cottage culture is designed to offer opportunities for all staff to be involved in the daily activities of the youth to establish relationships with them to create a family atmosphere.
