The only prison I know of that was in an urban setting was the old Kingston penitentiary. But it's been closed since 2013.

As far as under-18s being charged as an adult, that is rare and only used for extreme cases.

Collins Bay Institution is also in Kingston, not all that far from the old Kingdom Pen. It is within a 5-10 minute walk of many houses and apartments.
