Jailed youths have rioted at a detention centre, taking over a swimming pool before going on to trash equipment.

The incident is believed to have taken place at the Wacol facility in Brisbane, a frequent location for a number of previous riots involving juvenile offenders.

Rioting and vandalism at Queensland's two youth detention centres is said to have cost taxpayers over a quarter of a million dollars this year.

Incidents at the Cleveland youth detention centre in north Queensland cost just under $130,000 between January and May, while incidents at the Brisbane youth detention centre cost $123,376 over the same time frame.

Queensland Opposition leader Deb Frecklington has previously criticised the Labor government for failing to crack down on violence at both facilities.

'This is absolutely shocking, to think that we're spending $50,000-a-month to repair TVs and air conditioners for these thugs, it's got to stop,' she told the Brisbane Times.

'Why should we have a good kid sweltering in a Brisbane classroom because they don't have air conditioning and yet the bad kids in juvie can wreck their air conditioner and get it replaced?'

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said any inmates who cause damage in the youth detention centres will face the full consequences of the law.

'We as a government and a community want to address all of the issues around youth offending,' she said.

'As I've said before, the best way to stop youth offending is to get them into work.'

Charges are expected to follow once an investigation of the cause of the riot is completed.
