Minda Juvenile Justice Centre, in Lidcombe, replaced the Minda Remand Centre in 1991, when the Department of Juvenile Justice was created and assumed control of remand centres, shelters and juvenile detention centres from the Department of Family and Community Services. Minda housed around 60 boys at one time. Their average age was 15. Minda closed in 2003 and was demolished and replaced with Juniperina, a detention facility for young women.
