Scott County Youth Overview
The Scott County Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center is Scott County's short-term youth facility in Davenport. The official county page states that the center provides more than short-term security and is designed, under Iowa laws and standards, to define limits on behavior and hold youth accountable. The facility was formerly called the Juvenile Detention Center, and the county renamed it Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center in 2022.
Scott County states it constructed and moved to a new 40-bed facility in 2025. That move is an important detention-map detail because the youth center is separate from the adult Scott County Jail at the courthouse campus. Adult jail records appear through the county inmate listing, but juvenile custody information is usually handled with more restriction. The youth center is therefore a facility contact and orientation source, not an adult-style jail roster source.
The official Scott County YJRC page identifies the short-term purpose, 2025 facility, address, and phone.
This visual belongs with the youth facility because it comes from the county's own Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center page.
Scott County Youth Capacity
The sourced facility statistic for the Scott County Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center is capacity. The county says the 2025 facility has 40 beds. Research did not locate a public daily youth population dashboard, an annual youth detention census, or a public demographic table for the center. Because juvenile custody details can be confidential or restricted, the lack of a public daily population page should not be filled with estimates or adult jail assumptions.
| Measure | Sourced Detail | Use Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Facility capacity | 40 beds | Official county YJRC page |
| Facility type | Short-term youth detention and rehabilitation | Not an adult county jail roster facility |
| Public youth lookup | No public adult-style roster documented | Do not promise name searches for youth |
Youth Custody Lookup Limits
The adult Scott County Jail roster should not be used as a promise of youth lookup access. Scott County's adult inmate listing covers current and recent adult county-jail records, with stated exclusions for federal prisoners and detainees. The YJRC is a youth facility with different privacy and access limits. Youth records, juvenile court matters, and detention status are commonly more restricted than adult booking records, so the practical lookup path depends on the youth's legal status and the caller's authority to receive information.
- For an emergency or immediate safety concern, contact the proper public-safety agency rather than searching web records.
- For facility-specific routing, call the Scott County Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center directly.
- For court status, follow instructions from juvenile court, counsel, or the agency that placed the youth.
- Do not rely on the Scott County Jail roster to confirm youth detention at YJRC.
- If the person is legally treated as an adult and held in adult custody, then check the county jail roster or court record path.
Important: YJRC is a youth facility. Public adult inmate search rules do not translate into public youth-name lookup.
Scott County Youth Contact
The county publishes the facility address and phone number for the Youth Justice & Rehabilitation Center. The official page also names Jeremy Kaiser as director. Calls should be limited to appropriate facility, family, professional, or authorized matters. For police reports, adult jail records, or public open-records requests, use the correct county office instead of routing those issues through the youth center.

YJRC Visits and Contact
Research did not locate a public YJRC visitation schedule like the adult Scott County Jail schedule. That is significant. A youth facility may require approval, family relationship verification, court or caseworker involvement, and facility-specific timing before any visit or contact is allowed. Because the public research source gives the youth center's general purpose, address, phone, director, and capacity, but not a public daily visiting table, the responsible approach is to confirm all contact rules directly with the YJRC or through the youth's assigned legal or case authority.
Do not use the adult jail's Monday, Wednesday, Friday visitation hours for the youth center. The adult rules belong to Scott County Jail at the courthouse campus. YJRC is a separate short-term youth facility at Tremont Avenue. If a youth has a court appearance, family contact plan, education service, medical concern, or release condition, those details may be controlled by juvenile court orders, placement rules, or facility staff.
| Topic | Published Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Public visit hours | Not located in official research | Call the facility before travel |
| Identity or relationship proof | Not specified on the public YJRC page | Expect verification for youth contact |
| Adult jail visit rules | Published separately by Scott County Jail | Do not apply them to YJRC without confirmation |
Note: Confirm approval, identity requirements, and schedule rules with YJRC before visiting or discussing a youth's placement.
YJRC Mail and Money
The research did not document a public YJRC mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, or fee table. Adult Scott County Jail mail and InmateCanteen rules are documented, but they should not be copied to YJRC without an official source. A youth facility may use different parent or guardian contact rules, education materials, approved property rules, and case-specific limitations. When money, property, clothing, mail, or documents are involved, call YJRC or follow written instructions from the court, caseworker, counsel, or facility.
For public-records context, Iowa law allows access to many public records, but juvenile records and youth facility details can have confidentiality limits. That means a family contact route can be different from a public records route. A person seeking adult jail records should use the adult jail channels. A person seeking youth facility contact should start with YJRC and the relevant juvenile authority.
| Service | Documented for YJRC? | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not located | Call before sending mail |
| Money deposits | Not located | Do not use adult jail deposit assumptions |
| Phone or video contact | Not located | Use facility or case-authority instructions |
YJRC Intake Context
YJRC intake is best understood as youth placement and short-term detention or rehabilitation, not as the public adult booking process used at Scott County Jail. The adult jail process includes fingerprinting, mugshots, wristbands, direct-supervision housing, initial appearances, public roster profiles, VINE links, and bond tables. The youth center's official page instead frames the program around secure short-term care, behavior limits, accountability, Iowa standards, and a safer modern facility.
The distinction helps prevent bad searches. A parent or guardian looking for youth information should not expect a booking photo, public charge table, adult bond link, or last-seven-day jail profile. A person searching for an adult arrested by Davenport Police, Bettendorf Police, the Sheriff's Office, Iowa State Patrol, or a court commitment should use the Scott County Jail roster and then Iowa Courts Online for court records.

About Scott County YJRC
The YJRC is part of Scott County's local detention map because it handles youth detention and rehabilitation needs that are distinct from adult jail custody. The county's 2025 move into a new 40-bed facility is the key sourced development. The facility sits in Davenport, is operated locally, and serves a short-term purpose under Iowa laws and standards. It should not be described as an Iowa DOC prison, a work-release center, a federal detention site, or a public adult inmate search portal.
Scott County's adult jail page notes that adult and juvenile incarceration can appear in the broader county system, but the practical records paths remain different. Adult county jail inmates are searched through the county roster. Sentenced state offenders and community-supervision clients are searched through Iowa Offender Search. Federal and immigration detainees use federal tools. Youth placement at YJRC calls for direct facility, court, attorney, or case-authority contact rather than a public roster promise.
Note: Treat youth custody information as restricted unless an official source or authorized party confirms what can be released.
