In Hawaii, the practice of youth incarceration dates back to the period of the Hawaiian monarchy. In 1864, on the island of Oahu, King Kamehameha V created the Keoneula Reformatory School for boys and girls in Kapalama, the first juvenile facility of its kind in the islands. In 1903, 75 of the boys  were relocated to farmland in Waialee (near Pūpūkea) on Oahu's North Shore. Then in succeeding decades various types of facilities and locales were used to house, train, and educate the youths. Finally in 1961 the boys’ and girls’ operations were combined to form the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility (Hawaii Department of Human Services) now based in Kailua. The facility later experienced its own series of moves as it went from one agency’s headship to another. In 1987, the Legislature created a juvenile justice interdisciplinary committee to study and determine the appropriate placement of the youth corrections program. The  committee report, made in January 1989, recommended that a youth services agency be created and attached to the Department of Human Services for administrative purposes. Service. The school provides educational services for Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility, Secure Custody Facility, Ho’okipa Canoe House, Olomana Youth Center and Detention Home Facility (Olomana School).
