Programs
The Lake Superior Court, Juvenile Division, emphasizes programs that will offer a positive influence on each child who is detained. These programs stress specific factors and offer the following:
- A secure setting where external controls provide a safe, clean and orderly living environment;
- Programs of constructive activities, which include education and recreation.
- Individual guidance from staff members.
- Accurate record keeping of the child’s behavior in order to assess the child’s needs.
While in detention, children will experience programs designed to meet and positively influence their educational, emotional and behavioral needs. Limits and controls are also an important part of the programs designed to guide the child toward socially acceptable behavior.
The Lake County Juvenile Justice Complex is conveniently located 1 ½ miles South of the intersection of US 30 and Taft, on 93rd Avenue, just North of the Lake County Government Complex.
