In my 9 years in Juvenile Probation (Utah) I've always seen more boys than girls in detention. The ratio has varied from 2 to 1 to 10 to 1, with an average of about 4 to 1. Boys tend to commit more offences worthy of detention than girls do.

What are the different types of Juvenile Sentencing?

It Depends on what the Juvenile Is Being Charged with in the court's. And by your State Law. Under certain circumstances The court Will recommend "Diversion" Which will ovoid The Juvenile Being put into a Detention Center. If the Crime is more severe. The Juvinile Could be Placed into a Sentence that will consist of Time in a Detention center. In Rare cases If the Crime is Very Severe and depending upon His/Her Age the Juvenile Could be charged as an Adult. And be put into an Adult Institution. Usually these are only for Violent crimes. Or repeat Juvenile Offenders. In certain cases a Juvenile will Be given Probation And/Or Community Service. In more Serious cases this can be coupled With Detention time. If you can give me More information Like you're State And the Juveniles age. I can give a better Informed answer. But in reality the fate of the Juvenile rests in the Judges hands.

How do you send a child to juvenile detention?

You can't send a child to juvenile detention. That would be done by a juvenile court after the child was found responsible for some unlawful act. If you know a child who needs the attention of the juvenile authorities you should visit the juvenile court and ask to speak with an advocate. Most all juvenile court systems have a procedure for taking custody of a child who needs help and placing that child in foster care or a residential program. In some jurisdictions that would involve filing a petition for a Child In Need of Services at the juvenile Court. If you call your town offices there may an agency you could contact for more information.


Is there such thing as a child prison?

Many countries have facilities to detain "young offenders". These are generally not called prisons but are given more pleasant sounding names like detention centres, juvenile hall, detention homes, secure detention and similar names. These may be more homey than prisons or may be reworked area in existing prisons In some countries whole families are arrested and put in prisons - spouses and children together with the criminals. In the case of illegal immigrants the parents and children will be held, sometimes for years in detention facilities. The age of criminal responsibility is a consideration for the treatment of children committing crimes. Among the owest in the world is America where children as young a 6 years can be held criminally responsible for there actions (in some states). This is more severe than most countries of the world.
