## Dane County Juvenile Shelter Description
The Dane County Juvenile Shelter provides essential non-secure residential services for juveniles in Madison, WI, who require temporary placement pending further court action. Designed for youth aged 10-17, the shelter offers a safe and structured environment for up to 16 residents (8 boys and 8 girls) when a secure detention setting is not necessary. Stays can last up to 60 days, or 20 days if residents are transitioning between placements.

The shelter ensures a supportive atmosphere with 24-hour male and female staff supervision. Residents are encouraged to maintain their education, either by continuing their enrollment in Madison schools or participating in the Shelter Home School program, which provides an MMSD teacher. Medical care is prioritized, with health screens provided and efforts made to address residents' well-being. A structured daily routine includes opportunities to earn privileges, such as sign-out options, through good behavior and completion of household responsibilities.

Family involvement is supported through reasonable visiting hours and the possibility of home visits, coordinated with case managers. The program focuses on providing stability and a nurturing environment during a critical period, without billing parents for the placement. This comprehensive approach helps ensure the welfare and continued development of the youth in its care.
