Depends on the state and the charge. In California, for serious crimes like murder, they can hold you in the juvenile system until you are 25.

I do not know what punishment she will get for those crimes, however to answer the question "What is max punishment for a minor?" - Life in prison without parole. The DC sniper got that.
