Juvenile Alternative Facility

Juvenile Alternative Facility Hands
At the Scott County Juvenile Alternative Facility (JAF) we provide coed residential services and non-secure detention services for youth (ages 11-17) taken into custody for a delinquent offense, probation violation, warrant, or 72-hour health and safety hold and that meet the criteria for placement.

Purpose
Through a collaboration of community resources, family-based services, assessments, and evaluations the JAF provides effective programs and services that assist residents in significantly improving their decision-making and life skills, especially during times of crisis.
