Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center Custody Lookup

Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center Overview

Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center is located at 1313 1/2 North Main in Madison, Nebraska, near the Madison County Courthouse and Madison County Jail complex. It is operated by Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services, Inc., a nonprofit incorporated in 1992 to operate as a juvenile detention center. The facility's official site describes its purpose as secure, safe custody for juveniles committed for care and confinement, with attention to health, well-being, education, wellness, and positive development.

This facility must be separated from the adult jail in every lookup. The Madison County Sheriff's adult roster is for adult jail custody at Madison County Jail. It is not a juvenile roster, and it should not be used to infer whether a youth is held at Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services. Juvenile detention information is handled through the facility, the youth's parent or guardian, juvenile court participants, counsel, and authorized agencies.

The Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services home page is the official facility overview for the juvenile center. The screenshot below shows the source page used for the operator, classification, program, and facility-positioning details.

Use the juvenile center's own contact and visiting pages for practical access rules. Adult Madison County Jail roster fields such as Jail ID, booking photo, public charges, and bail do not create an equivalent public juvenile record.

Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center Capacity and Population

The 2025 Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Justice plan describes the center as a 34-bed secure and staff-secure detention facility. The same plan states that the facility houses youth from all locations in Nebraska and estimates the cost to house a youth there at approximately $290 per day. Those figures describe juvenile detention capacity and housing cost; they are not adult inmate-population figures and are not a current daily headcount.

The adult Madison County Jail had a separate 120-bed capacity and a separate inspected roster count. Do not combine the adult and juvenile figures. The juvenile center is regional, youth-focused, and confidential in ways the adult roster is not.

How to Look Up Custody at Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center

There is no public adult-style inmate roster for Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center in the research sources. The official route is controlled contact with the facility, guardian or parent communication, court participants, and authorized agency channels. A caller should be prepared to explain their relationship to the youth and understand that staff may be limited in what they can confirm.

1. Do not start with the Madison County Sheriff's adult inmate roster; that roster is for adult Madison County Jail custody only.
2. Use the facility contact information at nnjsc.net/contact when you are a parent, guardian, counsel, or authorized contact.
3. Confirm the youth's full name, date context, sending county or agency, and your relationship before asking for custody or visit information.
4. Use the juvenile court, attorney, probation, or agency contact tied to the case when facility staff cannot disclose information.
5. For adult sentenced prison custody, use NDCS instead; for adult county custody, use the Madison County Jail roster.

Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center Address and Contact

The facility's official contact page lists the Madison address, phone, fax, administrator, and contact form. The research identifies Mark Benne as administrator. Because juvenile detention information can be restricted, the contact card is best used for scheduling, visitation questions, authorized family communication, and routing to administration, not for general public inmate searching.

Visiting Someone at Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center

The juvenile center's official visiting page requires all visits to be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Visitors age 18 and older need valid photo identification. Only two adult visitors may visit at a time. The listed visitor categories include parents or guardians, grandparents, and siblings; other visitation requests go through administration. Visitors may be subject to a basic pat search, and property such as coats, bags, keys, and phones should be left in a vehicle or lobby locker.

Letters or notes must be presented to staff for inspection at the beginning of visitation. Video visitation uses CIDNET at the family's cost and is restricted to parent or guardian only. These rules reflect the juvenile setting: the visit process is narrower and more controlled than adult public jail visitation.

The juvenile services visiting page is the source for the schedule, visitor categories, ID requirements, property rules, and CIDNET video restriction. The screenshot below captures that official visiting source.

Because visits must be scheduled in advance and juvenile access is controlled, confirm the appointment before traveling to Madison. A parent, guardian, or other visitor should also confirm whether any court order, facility status, behavior restriction, or administrative decision affects a visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center

The official juvenile visiting and communication material emphasizes controlled family contact. Video visitation is through CIDNET at the user's cost and is limited to a parent or guardian. The facility also allows letters or notes to be brought to a visit only after they are presented to staff for inspection. The research did not locate a public commissary fee table, public deposit schedule, or adult-style jail money page for this juvenile facility.

Admission and Intake at Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center

Juvenile admission is not the same as adult street-arrest booking at Madison County Jail. The juvenile facility serves youth committed for care and confinement through juvenile justice, court, social-service, and agency channels. Its official site describes Secure and Staff Secure classifications. Staff Secure is identified for status offenders, social-service cases, and youth with lesser offenses. The 2025 juvenile justice plan says the center houses youth from Madison County, the Northeast Nebraska juvenile justice region, and other Nebraska locations.

The same plan identifies local alternatives to detention, including electronic monitoring through Vigilnet at $7.50 per day and tracking services through the Madison County Juvenile Accountability Office. Those alternatives are important because a youth may be supervised outside the facility even when a juvenile matter exists. For lookup purposes, that means the absence of a public detention confirmation should not be treated as proof that no juvenile case or supervision condition exists.

About Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services Detention Center

Northeast Nebraska Juvenile Services presents itself as a regional youth detention provider with secure and staff-secure custody, education, wellness, and developmental programming. Its site describes a positive environment intended to support social, intellectual, and physical development. The broader regional juvenile justice plan also lists services such as diversion, truancy programming, alternative school, tutoring, mental health providers, TeamMates, CASA, YMCA, Salvation Army, and electronic monitoring or tracking alternatives.

Nebraska Jail Standards oversight is relevant to juvenile detention facilities as well as adult jails. The Nebraska Crime Commission Jail Standards overview explains that each active jail and juvenile detention facility receives an annual inspection, with reports submitted to the Jail Standards Board for review and official action. That state oversight context is separate from the day-to-day decision about whether a specific youth's custody, visit eligibility, or communication status may be disclosed.
