Mission Statement
Hopkinsville Group Home aids in the education of juveniles to learn from past mistakes and allows them to have a safe space to grow into successful adults.
About Hopkinsville Group Home
Hopkinsville Group Home houses a maximum of 8 male sex offender juveniles from across the state. The facility focuses on teaching life skills to the youth so that they can pursue college education, trade education, or job core placements following their time in custody.
Juveniles attend the Christian County Day Treatment Center for schooling and have a partnership with the technical college system to learn welding skills. Youth are offered a variety of different educational programs, including anger management, drug and alcohol awareness, employment and independent living, and sex offender education programming.
The facility was constructed in the early 1980’s and was acquired by the department in 1997. Visitation is on Sundays from 1pm-4pm. Virtual visitation is available and special in-person visits can be prearranged.
Capacity: 8
Visitation Info
Sunday 1-4pm. Virtual visits can be accommodated.
Ronnie Collier, Facility Manager
Ronnie Collier worked for the Kentucky Department of Corrections for 10 years, beginning in 2008. In 2018, he transferred to Mayfield Youth Development Center where he worked for two years before transferring to Christian County Day Treatment, and then again to Hopkinsville Group Home in 2021 where he became the juvenile facility manager, a position he continues to hold.
Collier says his main source of motivation for working with juveniles comes from his time with corrections. He says he would see 18-year-olds entering adult facilities and felt that if he could help keep even one from entering prison then he would be making a difference.
