National data on youth in custody show that in 1997, more than 100,000 youth were held in juvenile correctional facilities in the United States. By 2013, the number in custody dropped to approximately 50,000. Of all youth in custody, more than 17,000 are held in juvenile detention facilities each day.1 This represents a sharp decline from the more than 28,000 youth held each day in juvenile detention in 1997. Sustained advocacy in a number of states has successfully closed youth detention centers and other correctional facilities and has created community-based alternatives for youth and their families.2  \nYouth held in juvenile detention centers are more likely to have intensive educational, mental health, and other treatment needs compared to others their age. Education programs in juvenile detention must be responsive to the multiple functions of juvenile detention settings as well as the changing characteristics of the youth at these facilities. Like students in public school settings, those placed in detention centers have statutory rights to education under federal and state laws.  \nCharacteristics of Juvenile Detention Facilities3  \nYouth are normally held in detention facilities for two primary reasons. When courts believe that youth pose a risk to the community or are likely to fail to appear for scheduled hearings, these youth typically are placed in detention centers.4 Whereas some youth are detained prior to preliminary hearings, others are placed in detention facilities pending the disposition or resolution of their cases and for short-term sanctions, such as violation of the terms of probation.5 The adequacy of counsel representing youth and the involvement of youths’ parents are ","cbCaiqhRgw3JZtjQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqhRgw3JZtjQ","pdf",357932,"English","# Introduction\n## Characteristics of Juvenile Detention Facilities","[{\"question\":\"What overall trends does the issue brief describe for youth in custody and juvenile detention facilities?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a steady decline in the number of incarcerated youth over the past decade, with fewer juvenile detention and commitment facilities.
