This facility is for juvenile residents.
The Adams County IL Juvenile Detention Facility is a medium to low-security detention center located at 200 N 52nd St Quincy, IL that is operated locally by the Juvenile Justice Department and holds youths awaiting the determination of punishment for the crimes which they are accused. Most of the adolescents are here for less than two years.
The Juvenile Detention Center provides detention services and behavioral programming for troubled youth from ages ten through seventeen. This is a secure custody facility with a maximum rated capacity of 30.
Only minors who have allegedly committed a delinquent offense may be detained. Detention must be authorized by a Probation Officer who considers the nature of the offense, the background of the minor and family, and other placement alternatives. To be detained, a juvenile must be: a danger to the community or themselves; likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court; or have been taken into custody under a warrant.
While in secure detention, juveniles participate in on-site education, physical exercise, group discussions, and a behavior program. Community social service resources are utilized in addition to the Juvenile Detention Center staff providing direction for the youth and his/her family.
The Juvenile Detention Center has a staff of 30 (22 detention officer and administrative positions, 3 support staff and 5 part-time para-professionals).
Out-of-county juveniles may be placed at the Juvenile Detention Center when space allows.
