It accommodated 73 male detainees aged between 14-18 transferred from the Banksia Hill Detention Centre after a riot at the youth facility. By late October 2013, all the youth detainees had been transferred back to the Banksia Hill Detention Centre.
From 21 January until 4 February 2013 the young men from Banksia Hill Detention Centre were housed in Unit 5 at Hakea Prison. On 4 February, Units 11 and 12 at Hakea Prison were gazetted as a detention centre, which was subsequently known as Hakea Juvenile Facility (or 'Hakea JF').
