Introduction and background 
Juvenile detention center which is also known as JDC is a secured residential program where 
in the young criminals are detained and confined for correctional treatment. These criminals 
await the court hearing and the placement in the long term care facilities or correctional 
facilities. The juveniles go through a separate system of court which sentences them to 
certain facilities and the programs according to the severity of the crime.  
Problem Definition 
The system of Juvenile detention facilities have been debated and questioned since 
very long time with respect to two problems: ineffectiveness and overcrowding of these 
facilities. The number of juvenile cases has been on constant increase since past fifteen years 
and because of which the issue of juvenile centers have come under scanner. The 
overpopulated centers lead to extremely dangerous environment for the young people there 
and mishandling of the administration of these facilities.  The instability of the logistics and 
maintenance of the facilities has become almost insurmountable task in these facilities 
leading to the increased incidences of violence and mental disorientation in the juveniles. The 
problem of overcrowding also results in decrease in the availability of improvement programs 
and correctional methods for which they are brought to these facilities.  
In addition to the problem of overcrowding, these facilities are becoming increasingly 
ineffective and less impactful to improve the mental condition and behavioral issues in the 
juveniles and lead high juvenile recidivism rate. These centers are supposed to provide the 
basic needs for the education, mental health and other rehabilitation facilities for these young 
offenders who are disoriented with life and require re-channelization of their energy into right 
direction and positive platform for the future. Lack of education and social skills in these 
people have a direct link with the recidivism as mental health has a direct effect in criminal 
tendencies.

The high staff to in-mates ratio also makes the implementation of the mental health 
and education program difficult because of lack of adequate space for classrooms and 
sessions. Supervision of incidences of violence becomes a tedious task for the staff that 
makes sure that the children are locked inside their rooms eliminating the scope of outdoor 
exercise, visiting, and leisure activities. The facilities exclude these children from school and 
force them to have food inside the sleeping rooms. These kinds of facilities make them feel 
like prisoners even before they are sentenced to the long term incarceration. The 
administrators seek extra-help staff that does not have enough training and experience to deal 
with the strains created by the congestion. Also,
