Brought something that's not allowed inside? No need to leave. Summit County Juvenile Detention has lockers where you can store prohibited items during your visit.

Juveniles cannot pass any items to visitors during visits - nothing at all, even if it seems harmless. Don't plan on exchanging anything while you're there.

Bringing contraband into the facility can get your visit cut short. Leave anything questionable at home or locked away before you go in.
