A 16-year-old can be sent to jail for committing serious crimes such as theft, assault, drug offenses, or other felonies. Depending on the severity of the crime and local laws, they may be tried as an adult, which can lead to incarceration in a jail or prison. Additionally, repeated offenses or probation violations can also result in jail time. Juvenile courts generally focus on rehabilitation, but serious offenses can lead to harsher consequences.
