Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice to hold hiring event March 18

NORTH CHESTERFIELD, Va. — The Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) will hold a hiring event next week to bolster staffing at Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Center.
The event is planned for Tuesday, March 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Beulah Recreation Center at 6901 Hopkins Road.

“In addition to providing information and answering questions, DJJ staff will offer assistance with completing applications, on-site interviews, fingerprinting and background checks, and on-the-spot job offers,” a spokesperson for the department wrote on Wednesday.
DJJ also encouraged attendees to start or complete online applications ahead of the event.
As CBS 6 previously reported, an independent assessment of Bon Air completed last year attributed “critically low” staffing levels to a host of issues at the youth prison, including more confinement, longer sentences, lack of programming, and employee fatigue.
