Beginning on August 26th, the Wayne County Sheriff and the Juvenile & Youth Services Division moved over 1400 inmates and almost 120 juvenile residents from their former locations into the newly constructed Adult Detention Facility and Juvenile Detention Facility at the Wayne County Criminal Justice Center (CJC). The move took place over the course of three days and was conducted without major incident. An undertaking such as this involves considerable planning and is no easy task.
I congratulate Sheriff Washington and his team as well as county staff for accomplishing this feat. Getting acclimated to a new and complex facility requires time and the continued hard work of all our employees, and we will make any adjustments necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of those who work at and populate the CJC. Regarding the construction process, HOK and Barton Malow, two very qualified entities, were responsible for the planning, design, and construction of the CJC and continue to collaborate with the County during this transition. The opening was a herculean effort and we worked together, as a team, to complete the task.
The all-new Wayne County Criminal Justice Center ushers in a new era of justice for Wayne County and is a testament to our unwavering commitment to create a more efficient justice system for all.

Spotted Lanternfly Confirmed in Wayne County
The invasive Spotted Lanternfly, originally from eastern Asia, has been detected in Wayne County, adding to new infestations across Michigan. This insect poses a serious threat to Michigan's agriculture and environment, particularly affecting fruit growers, vineyards, and a wide range of plants including grapevines, black walnut, and red maple trees.
While there’s no direct threat to human health, the Spotted Lanternfly is a significant environmental and agricultural nuisance. The insect's feeding habits produce a sticky liquid that encourages mold growth, which can damage plants and trees.
Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development - MDARD is working alongside state and local partners through targeted surveying to curb the spread of this invasive species. If you spot a Spotted Lanternfly, take a picture and report it to Eyes in the Field (https://www2.dnr.state.mi.us/ors/Home) to help protect our environment.
For more details on identification and reporting, visit: Michigan.gov/SpottedLanternfly
You can also learn more at USDA’s spotted lanternfly website found at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-pests-diseases/slf
