The Madison County IL Juvenile Detention Home is a medium to low-security detention center located at 100 West Fifth Ave Edwardsville, IL 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.

The Juvenile Detention Home is a 49 bed facility utilized as the County's temporary placement center for juveniles awaiting court decisions on their cases. The correctional officers work mainly at this facility. The main functions of this facility include:

  • Provision of teaching services for continuing education while juveniles are housed in the facility as well as internal and community recreational opportunities for the juveniles.
  • Provision of counseling and social services activities relative to the individual cases.
  • Ensuring all students practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors throughout the school day, the Detention Wellness Policy is adopted.
