Haskins' Non-Secure Detention Facilityￂﾠ is a 12-bed, on-campus facility that provides a 24-hour a day supervised living program for boys and girls age 8 to 17 who have been remanded from the Broome County Family Court System. Case planning involves intensive collaboration with the Broome County Probation Department, Department of Social Services, County Attorney's Office and Family Court.

Youth receive educational services at our on-campus school, as well as health services from our staff. A team consisting of the director, caseworkers, a detention bed coordinator and family life specialists provide additional services. Staff use an advocacy/mentor approach based around a privilege/rewards system. They try to motivate and teach youth to make good choices and set goals.

"Julia" is a 13-year-old girl who was remanded to Haskins due to her unsafe behaviors and a violation of her People in Need of Supervision (PINS) probation conditions. After approximately 90 days at Haskins, she was discharged home.
Julia contacted staff at Haskins to say thank you for the support, encouragement and positive reinforcment she received. She is now on the high honor roll at school and has a part-time job.

Past residents frequently keep in touch with Haskins' staff that have touched their lives and been a positive influence.
