IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Detention center: A short-term facility that
provides temporary care in a physically restricting
environment for juveniles in custody pending court
disposition and, often, for juveniles who are
adjudicated delinquent and awaiting disposition or
placement elsewhere, or are awaiting transfer to
another jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions, detention
centers may also hold juveniles committed for short
periods of time as part of their disposition (e.g.,
weekend detention).
Training school/Long-term secure facility:
A specialized type of facility that provides strict
confinement and long-term treatment generally for
post-adjudication committed juvenile offenders.
Includes training schools, juvenile correctional
facilities, youth development centers.

The following items ask you to use your
records to provide counts of persons who
had assigned beds in this facility at the end
of the day on Wednesday, October 25,
2017. This date has been chosen carefully
to give a standardized count of persons in
facilities like yours across the country. You
will be asked to classify your facility
population into two age groups:
1. those persons under age 21; and
2. those persons age 21 and older.
You will then be asked to classify each
person UNDER THE AGE OF 21 into one of
the two following categories:

Reception or diagnostic center: A short-term
facility that screens juvenile offenders committed by
the courts and assigns them to appropriate
correctional facilities.

1. those here because they have been
charged with or court-adjudicated for an
offense. An offense is any behavior that
is illegal in your state for underage
persons alone or for both underage
persons and adults.

Group home/Halfway house: A long-term
facility that is generally non-secure and intended for
post-adjudication commitments in which young
persons are allowed extensive contact with the
community, such as attending school or holding a
job.

2. those here for reasons other than
offenses.

Residential treatment center: A facility that
focuses on providing some type of individually
planned treatment program for youth (substance
abuse, sex offender, mental health, etc.) in
conjunction with residential care. Such facilities
generally require specific licensing by the state that
may require that treatment provided is
Medicaid-reimbursable.
Boot camp: A secure facility that operates like
military basic training. It is designed to combine
elements of basic military training programs,
correctional components and treatment programs.
The emphasis is on strict discipline, drills, and work.
Ranch, forestry camp, wilderness or
marine program or farm: These are long-term
generally non-secure residential facilities often
located in a relatively remote area. The juveniles
participate in a structured program that emphasizes
outdoor work, including conservation and related
activities.
Runaway and homeless shelter: A short-term
facility that provides temporary care in a physically
unrestricted environment. It can also provide
longer-term care under a juvenile court disposition
order.
Other type of shelter: This includes emergency
non-secure shelters where juveniles are housed
short-term until another placement can be found.
Other: This includes independent living programs and
anything that cannot be classified above. Specify

Please classify each person under age 21
into just one of these categories. Detailed
descriptions of the above categories are
provided in the questions themselves and
on the Offense Codes on Pages 19 and 20
of the CJRP form.

following questions.
