No a 16 yo cannot go to jail, they can, however, be placed in a juvenile delinquency facility at any age (starting at 7 yo) if the charge is serious enough or the teenager is a repeat offender.

∙ 10y agoThe act of leaving your parents house to live on your own and provide for yourself is called emancipation. In order to be emancipated at 16, you would need to show the court that you can support yourself and maintain a place to live. You must also show a viable reason for emancipation, such as parental abuse or neglect.
