Washburn County Juvenile Detention
Washburn County Juvenile Detention
The decision to detain youth comes from the Youth and Family Services department, who is responsible for identifying, preventing, and resolving conditions that are contributing to the delinquency of youth including maltreatment, truancy, uncontrollable behavior, and others. Also under this umbrella is Juvenile Justice, Child Protection, Child Welfare, Children’s Long Term Care, Foster Home Coordination and Kinship Care. The first step into these programs is the intake which includes an assessment with the assigned social worker to determine what services are needed and what strengths the youth has to assist in their programs. Law enforcement will refer youth who are 10-17 years of age and who have broken the law or violated the criminal code in some way. Other referrals for protection services will include those up to 18 years of age who are showing uncontrollable behavior or under 10 who have committed a crime as they will not be assigned through the courts to detention but rather put into the shelter area. Social workers may discuss with the district attorney alternatives to detention including deferred prosecution, supervision, and community treatments, while detention focuses on the safety of the community and teaching accountability and responsibility. Mail: PO Box 250 304 2nd Street Shell Lake WI 54871 Only mail that is correctly addressed with a return address, sent through the postal service, and free of contraband, will be accepted. Telephone: Telephones are available for youth to call parents and guardians only and are unable to accept incoming calls. Visitation: Only approved visitors are able to visit youth at the facility, and they will be provided with the days and times of those visits during the intake process. Visits will occur at least once each week for 30 minutes.Inmate Services
