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, March 26, 2025.
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 the facility population into two age
groups:

Detention center: A short-term facility that
provides temporary care in a physically restricting
environment for young persons in custody pending
court disposition and, often, for young persons 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 young persons committed for
short periods of time as part of their disposition
(e.g., weekend detention).
Long-term secure facility: A specialized type
of facility that provides strict confinement and longterm treatment generally for post-adjudication
committed young persons placed for delinquency or
status offenses. Includes training schools, juvenile
correctional facilities, youth development centers.
Reception or diagnostic center: A short-term
facility that screens young persons committed by the
courts and assigns them to appropriate correctional
facilities.
Group home/Halfway house: These facilities are
generally non-secure and typically intended for post
adjudication commitments in which young persons are
allowed extensive contact with the community, such as
attending school or holding a job.
Residential treatment center: A facility that
focuses on providing some type of individually
planned treatment program for young persons
(substance use, 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 Medicaidreimbursable.

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:
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.
2. those here for reasons other than offenses.
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 31 and 32 of
the CJRP form.
Please use your records to answer the
following questions.
