Any juvenile who is adjudicated by the court as an adult may be placed in an adult correctional facility.

Most crimes involving such an adjudication would include murder, armed robbery, and some other major crimes.

In Massachusetts a 17 year old will be sent to county instead of juvy.

It's not necessarily a question of age it's more of a question of whether the person is tried as an adult.
