It all depends on what they did to be held in detention in the first place, then it would have to be looked into. Are their conditons well documented through their doctors? If not you could have a real problem. Even if their condition is know, it is unlikely that they would be released based on that. They would be transfered to the appropriate facility for futher evaluation. Good Luck!

Yes. Either way, if they commit a crime they should be locked up in some sort of detention center be it jail, juvie, or a hospital. And if this child is your child and s/he hasn't committed a crime, please be certain that you are providing the proper care and supervision!!

I guess you could always lock them up in a psych ward.
I'm guessing that a lot of people in prisons are bipolar.

WHY NOT---SURE ARE FOR SELF PROTECTION.
SOME COMMIT CRIMES ANDTHEY GET SENT TO PRISON AS ADULTS ALSO.
MANY MENTAL ILL PEOPLE ARE TREATED IN DETENTIONS-JAILS AND PRISONS..
SOME FAIR BETTER IN THAN OUT--BECAUSE THEY CAN'T OR WON'T SEEK HELP ON THE OUTSIDE.

It depends on their actions. If the children's conditions are being adequately managed, probably not. However, if untreated, and they are violent, it's quite possible.
