Madison County Juvenile Detention Center Information

The current Madison County Juvenile Detention Center is a small facility that has two housing units that consist of four cells in each. This division allows for up to 8 juveniles, accepting both male and female juveniles and maintaining a separation of them at all times. When a female juvenile is in the center that restricts the other three beds to other female juveniles or they will remain empty, with all male detainees being housed in the other unit. During a detention there are services provided to continue schooling, to support mental health, offer medical care including handing out already present prescriptions, and activities to grow social skills and life skills. The space limitations have caused there to be talks of building a new facility which will be started within the next year or two. The expansion will provide additional beds and housing units to accommodate the growing community, offer larger day areas and increased recreational spaces. It will continue to house youth who are aged 12 to 17 years old, with their average stay being 5 days. Mail: 224 Lexington Avenue Jackson Tennessee 38301 Phones: Access to phones is provided for all juveniles upon their arrival and regularly afterward to permit them to call parents or guardians. Visitation: Visits are arranged directly with the facility staff and will occur at least one day each week.
