The Adams County WI Juvenile Detention is a medium to low-security detention center located at 108 E North St Friendship, WI that is operated locally by the Juvenile Justice Department and holds youths awaiting the determination of punishment for the crimes of which they are accused. Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.
The juvenile justice system differs from the adult system, focusing on rehabilitation and recognizing the developmental differences in juveniles. It aims to protect both the child and the public and helps juveniles become productive adults.
Juveniles are detained if they pose a threat, may miss court, or violate court orders. Parental involvement is crucial for effective supervision and rehabilitation.
Key differences in terminology include "taken into custody" instead of "arrest" and "supervision" instead of "probation." Referrals usually come from law enforcement, and an intake social worker decides the juvenile's placement. An inquiry can lead to dismissal, corrective action, or court involvement.
The process includes a plea hearing, possible evaluations, a pre-trial conference, a fact-finding hearing, and a dispositional hearing to determine the case's outcome. Parents may need to cover associated costs.

Your Role as a Parent:
Having parents involved in the juvenile court process is extremely important to the success of the Court’s dispositional order and supervision of your child. Please cooperate with the Health & Human Services Department as they do their investigation and prepare a report to the Court. As the parent, it is extremely important that you attend each court hearing scheduled for your child’s case.
Department of Social Services Involvement:
