The Richmond Juvenile Detention Center has passed its latest state review with flying colors.

Richmond officials said the center was notified last month that it had been recertified to operate for another three years after receiving 100 percent passing grades on all elements of the audit.

“This is a tremendous vote of confidence and shows what an exceptional job that the director, Rodney Baskerville, and his staff are doing,” said Rufus Fleming, director of the city’s Department of Justice Services.

“It shows the right people are in place,” said Mr. Fleming, whose department includes the detention center.

The 60-bed center is on Oliver Hill Way next door to the Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court and across the street from the Richmond Justice Center.

The most recent statistics provided by the department show about 52 youths are being held at the facility awaiting court hearings.

In May 2012, Mayor Dwight C. Jones shut down the detention center after the state found serious deficiencies in security and staff oversight.

The state got involved after the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP went public with the problems in 2011, spurring the state’s intervention.

The center reopened after the mayor’s top aide, now Richmond General District Court Judge David M. Hicks, overhauled the staff, and the city made substantial improvements to the building.

Mr. Baskerville, who heads a staff of about 60 people, led the reopening in July 2013 after the state inspected the revamped center and awarded its certification as a new facility.
