Kern County Youth Detention Center is the county probation secure youth detention facility at 1831 Ridge Road, Bakersfield, CA 93305. Current Kern County Probation pages use the Youth Detention Center naming and publish the current visitation surface from the 1831 Ridge Road address.
Current probation pages list the Youth Detention Center visitation line as (661) 868-4300 and the probation main office as 2005 Ridge Road, phone (661) 868-4100. This refresh updates the old James G. Bowles Juvenile Hall page to the county’s current Youth Detention Center model while preserving the existing site continuity.
