If weekends are a hardship, contact facility administration to make accommodations. Clock hours are not printed. Call (559) 675-7899 before you drive. The same PDF still prints COVID-era entry language (proof of vaccination, mask, temperature check) — confirm current entry rules on that call; do not assume they were lifted and do not invent a replacement. Call (559) 675-7899. Do not use JailATM or the adult-jail (559) 675-7951 visiting process.

Programs include temporary detention, holding for other agencies, and varying lengths of residential care.

Madera County Probation operates one youth housing campus. Official Juvenile Detention Facility page (title Youth Correctional Center; Wayback 2026-04-20): 1655 E. Olive Avenue, (559) 675-7899, fax (559) 675-7620. Juvenile Services Division is next door at 1675 E. Olive Avenue, (559) 675-4970, fax (559) 675-4968. The facility inventory still lists separate Juvenile Hall (28281 Avenue 14) and Juvenile Detention Facility (28219 Avenue 14) rows — those Avenue 14 streets are not the live Probation visitor door. Correctional Academy is an in-custody program at this hall (WIC § 602 commitment), not a second jail. Adult jail is 195 Tozer Street. Mariposa County’s official Juvenile Hall page names Madera among halls it contracts with for longer youth stays.
