Prisons do not typically accommodate juveniles. Juveniles are not placed in the same facility as adults. Juveniles are housed at juvenile detention centers, and these facilities are usually much smaller than adult prisons. Most juvenile detention facilities hold less than 100 children. These facilities work diligently to rehabilitate these children so that they can turn their lives around and re-enter society. Participation in the programs offered at juvenile facilities is mandatory. The children are not given a choice of whether to participate in education classes or other rehabilitation programs.
