The Waushara County WI Juvenile Detention is a medium to low-security detention center located at 230 W Park St Wautoma, 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.
The Juvenile Intake Unit serves as the initial point of contact for juveniles referred to our agency for delinquent and status offenses, typically by law enforcement and schools. Our intake workers meticulously screen cases to determine jurisdiction, conduct assessments, and provide recommendations to the court. We also oversee Deferred Prosecution Agreements and ensure compliance with court orders.
In addition to our judicial responsibilities, we prioritize family support and intervention. Families may be referred to a range of services, including counseling, parenting classes, mentoring programs, and community service projects. These interventions aim to address underlying issues and support positive development for both the juvenile and their family.
