juvenile facilities

Juvenile facilities are specialized detention or correction centers designed for young people, typically under 18, who have committed legal offenses. These facilities focus on rehabilitation, education, and counseling to help juveniles modify their behavior and integrate positively into society. Unlike adult prisons, juvenile facilities aim to provide a safer environment with age-appropriate programs, emphasizing treatment and support over punishment. They often include educational services, mental health resources, and skill-building activities, with the goal of reducing recidivism and promoting healthy development.
