Answer 1

I used to work in one. The juvenile detention centers are basically holding tanks for juvenile offenders while they await their court hearings. In the case of runaways, it's a place where they are in a safe environment until their parents can be found. The one I worked for was clean, and had separate areas for boys and girls. During the day, they were required to attend school classes that were held at the facility. They were given three good meals a day, and counseling, recreation and sports were available. They were all treated kindly and fairly. Occasionally, there were some trouble-makers among the youths, and they'd get in fights or verbal battles, but for the most part, they got along pretty good. They had a doctor, nurse and psychologist on the staff, if needed, and the attendants were all very nice people with a great understanding of juveniles. It wasn't like a resort, but it wasn't like a prison, either. The only similarity between the juvenile detention center, and a prison, was that they were not allowed to leave the facility or come and go whenever they pleased, until the judge either released them to the custody of their parents, or sent them to either a boys' or girls' reform school -- but that was only in extreme situations, where the kid would be a repeat offender or a severe trouble maker. Most of the kids were either lost, scared or confused, and we never saw them again, once they were released. So don't worry too much -- none was ever subjected to any extreme punishments or harmed in any way. The worst thing that I ever witnessed, was to put a kid in a locked room by himself until he straightened out and didn't cause any more trouble. There were no beatings, or anything like that. In fact, I think there's a law against physical punishment, other than just being restrained if the situation called for that. Those instances were extremely rare, however, and most kids never suffered any ill effects from being there. They were allowed visitors on Sundays, and several phone calls (incoming and outgoing) per week.

It's hard to not give a Negative response on a Negative question,, I mean I'm sure it's not fun , I don't think they plan activities (arts&crafts)etc.,, They sleep , eat, maybe get some exercise,,and reflect on nothing, that should be about it! That's All I would hope,, I would not concern yourself with someone there anyways,, most will only end up in jail later in life ! Sorry The Truth hurts ,, Reason does not matter why this person is there ,, the fact of the matter is -- they are!! It's just a different life style, upbringing,, maybe my answer is too Correct,, AND we are to give Correct answers ,, negetive or Not,, I'm sorry I don't sugar coat ,, the thug life style,,!

i'm no longer attentive to any State in which oldsters are to blame for the fee of incarceration of a juvenile positioned in detention by technique of a juvenile courtroom. even as the State takes over quite than a parent for a "juvenile antisocial", it also takes over the activity to feed, dress, living house and practice that juvenile. easily, contained with regards to an impoverished family members, the State is already paying assorted kinds of help. In not one of the six States in which I particularly have lived and paid taxes has a nasty family members been billed for the fee of courtroom ordered juvenile detention.
