Woodside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, located at 26 Woodside Drive, Colchester, Vermont, was the state’s only secure facility for juveniles involved in the legal system. It served young individuals who required rehabilitation in a structured and monitored environment. The center aimed to provide a range of services, including educational programs, mental health support, and behavioral therapy to help residents reintegrate into society successfully. However, the facility faced scrutiny and criticism over the years regarding the conditions and treatment of its residents. In response to these concerns and a shift towards community-based programs, the facility closed in 2020, and Vermont transitioned to alternative approaches focused on rehabilitation and support outside of a secure institutional setting.
