Best Answer

no because they are still considered a minor but they can be put in juvenile

Another View: If the 17 year old has committed a serious offense and has been bound over for trial as an adult, yes. If found guilty they can be sentenced to serve their time in an adult facility.

It depends on the laws of the country you reside in. Many countries have a minimum age at which a person is considered responsible for criminal acts. That age will be determined by the particular country. Some countries do not have such legislation so in those places someone could be sent to jail at any age, though it is unlikely.

That depends on whether you had sex, whether you robbed a convenience store or sold drugs, whether you are a boy or a girl, and what country and state you are in.
