Not without the permission of the court and without and over-riding reason for doing so. The legal "age of reason or understanding" is generally set at 7 years of age.

If a 16 year old girl in the state of CA still does not testify under a subpoena and is found in contempt of the court will she go to a juvenile facility or jail and how much would her bail be set at?

I don't know in which facility the girl would be held. There is no bail for contempt. Contempt is the "willful" refusal to comply with a court's order. The only way to be released from jail is to comply with the court's order. In this case, the girl would remain in jail until she agrees to testify.
