Juvenile Detention Center

The Brown County Juvenile Detention Center was established to provide secure and staff secure detention for juvenile(s) who are accused, adjudicated, given a disposition, and/or awaiting transfer to another facility. The Brown County Juvenile Detention Center contains 9 secure beds, an educational classroom and 3 recreation areas. The facility was designed for youth ages 10 through 17. The Brown County Juvenile Detention Center employs 12 full-time employees and 3 part-time staff members. Two kitchen staffers coordinate meals for the Brown County JDC and Jail facilities.

Home Detention

Home Detention is a program designed for youth ages 10 through 17 that reside in Brown County. Home Detention is defined as the supervision of a juvenile in his own residence as ordered by the Court. Home Detention Officers closely monitor the youth’s activities and behavior for a period of time. A juvenile is placed on this program under strict guidelines to help him become more accountable for his decisions and attitude. 

Home Detention is used as a less restrictive alternative to secure detention and to assist in keeping youth supported within the community.
