Juvenile Hall is basically another term for a juvenile detention center. These places generally hold children until they are sentenced, after which they may serve a brief time in the facility or are transferred to other facilities similar to a prison for adults. A juvenile detention center is homologous to a jail, while other state facilities commonly known as reform schools for teens or other juvenile delinquents are homologous to prisons for adults.
