no they are taken to the nearest juvinile detention facility


The Ultimate Answer Guaranteed
juvenile hall they go to. its not the same as long as they are 17 or younger, sometimes 16 or 17 can be tried as an adult.

No, the only time they're with adults is if they're tried and found guilty as an adult and then put in an adult prison.

No.

Nope - but, if you are in a very small town they may or they may just find an office for the kid to sit in.

Is someone going to jail? Don't drop the soap!!!

not usually. Unless its a felony, they are usually released to the custody of the parent

Depends on age and severity of the crime.

17 ...is possible.
Being tried as an adult means the kid KNEW he was breaking the law and is not sorry.

no. they go to juvvy.


aaaaaaaaaaa
well, it depends on what age they are and where you live. Where i am at if you are over 16 years old then you get taken to the same place as adults but if you are under that age then they take you to the juvenile facility.


Jules

Please define "kid" age range.
What type of crimes are they arrested for?


DragonMutant94
If they are under 18 they go to a juvinile jail. Have you ever seen MTV Juvies?


Dennis C

Kids go to Juvi-- Congrats on never being in that situation-- I imagine you've never been to jail either, you dont see to many kids...


Qbanmami93
No, here in the city that I live in, teens and kids that get arrested for serious things,go to Juvy, i dont know if its called the same in other states. In Kentucky it is. They get orange uniforms and they get very very tiny rooms with nothing but a bed in it. They get nasty food and go out for air sometimes, they pretty much get treated like regular adults prissoners. I havent experienced it but my friends dauhter got out of Juvy 2 months ago. terrible place to go to. For more info you can type in google.com and type juvenile jail


atlbraves4n
depends on the age of the child and the severity of the offense. this is a hard thing to go through, so good luck to you on what ever happened!!!


Garacaius
If they are a juvenile, they are not put in with adults. If they are eighteen then they are probably put in with adults, if there is additional holding cell space they might put the younger adults separate, but being eighteen the day is coming when they are going to be housed with the other older adults.

Depends on the age, however most times then not they're held in separate rooms. They don't even put them in cells.

Then again I'm not an officer, so I'm just putting my 2 cents out there like the rest of us!

No... Even if they are being tried as adults.
