juvenile detention

     

A youth etention center, also known as juvenile hall, is a prison for people from the age of responsibility, which varies by jurisdiction, to the age of majority, which also varies by jurisdiction. An offender residing in a center is colloquially referred to as a juvie, and the center is often referred to colloquially by the same name by the general public. Some jurisdictions allow young adults over the age of majority to 21 or 25 to be sentenced to juvenile facilities instead of adult prison.
