Best Answer

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.

Can you go to prison for benefit fraud if you have a newborn baby?

Yes, then they also take the child away from you. Where the child goes depends on many things. They do not put you in jail for having a baby, nor will they keep from putting you in prison because of a child. The only way you will go to prison is to defraud a person, company or the government. It will then be prison and not jail. The child would then be put into foster care. You may petition to get the child back once you have been "reformed".
