"We're not just opening a facility; we're ushering in a new era for our justice system. The Wayne County Criminal Justice Center symbolizes our dedication to turning challenges into opportunities and our relentless pursuit of excellence for the benefit of every resident in Wayne County."

---Wayne County Executive Warren C. Evans.

Welcome to the Wayne County Criminal Justice Center (CJC). This state-of-the-art facility houses the Third Judicial Circuit-Criminal Division, Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, and Wayne County Clerk's Office. The CJC is also the new home to the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility and the Wayne County Adult Detention Facility.

The CJC, located at 5301 Russell Street in Detroit, is made up of four interconnected buildings spanning more than 1 million square feet - all with free parking. The facility has 26 criminal courtrooms and will also house nearly 2,500 adult and juvenile residents, and it is expected that upwards of 1,000 people will visit the facility each day. The CJC is designed to enhance the safety, security, and well-being of the entire Wayne County community.

Beginning Tuesday, September 3rd, all jury duty, court appointments, and related services will be relocated to the Wayne County Criminal Justice Center (CJC).
