The center is designed to be used as a short-term storage and remanage center for up to four days and can accommodate up to ten teenagers of any gender. A longer period of remission or sentence was transferred to the Dale Donale Youth Detention Center in Darwin.
Although this is contrary to the recommendation of the 1991 Royal Commission into the Aboriginal of Death in Custody, there is no plan to establish a long-term juvenile detention center in Alice Springs. In February 2011, the Northern Territory Government announced plans to open a Juvenile Detention Facility in Alice Springs with 24 prisoners.
