Scott County Juvenile Center Information

With space for up to 12 juveniles, the Scott County Juvenile Detention Center houses not only juveniles from the immediate area but also accepts juveniles who are arrested and held by the state or federal law enforcement. The current facility offers both temporary and long term housing options, allowing for youth to serve any length of detention assigned to them by the court at this location, close to their family and support system. Each meal and snack is provided and is healthy and balanced, along with laundry services being completed regularly and facility cleaning occurring each day. Schoolwork is completed and credits towards high school graduation can be earned. In addition to academic education there are additional learning programs and opportunities including those for mental health, substance abuse treatments, life skills classes, social skills education, and many more. Medical, dental, and mental health treatment is accessible as needed during any length of stay. The majority of youth are only in the facility for 72 hours or less, and this has led to a potential change in the location to allow only temporary housing for up to 3 days to assist in lowering costs and providing appropriate services to the community.
