Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Detention centers are specifically designed to house and secure juveniles who are awaiting trial or sentencing. Boot camps are typically used as punitive measures for juvenile offenders who have already been sentenced. Jails are typically reserved for adult offenders, although in some cases juveniles may be held there as well. Secure group homes are residential facilities for juveniles who require special care or treatment, but are not necessarily pre-trial detainees.
