2025 Census of Juveniles in Residential
Placement

This questionnaire asks about persons who had assigned beds
in this facility on Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
Important Instructions:
1. A juvenile residential facility is a place
where young persons who have committed
offenses may be housed overnight as a direct
result of those offenses. A facility has
living/sleeping units, such as wings, floors,
dorms, barracks, or cottages on one campus
or in one building.
2. Any buildings with living/sleeping units that
are not on the same campus should be
considered separate facilities and should
submit a separate questionnaire. Please
request additional questionnaires using the
contact information below.

You may find it helpful to use this form to gather
the requested information. We ask that you submit
your response online BY APRIL 30, 2025:

INSTRUCTIONS

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).

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 your facility population into two age
groups:

Long-term secure facility: A specialized type of
facility that provides strict confinement and long-term
treatment generally for post-adjudication committed
young persons placed for delinquency or status
offenses. Includes training schools, juvenile
correctional facilities, youth development centers.

1. those persons under age 21; and

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 or 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.

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 30 and 31 of the
CJRP form.

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
Medicaid-reimbursable.
Ranch or Wilderness Program: A long-term
facility focused on providing structured outdoor
programs, such as farming, forestry, wildlife
conservation, and environmental education. These
facilities are generally non-secure and typically
located in a remote area.
Runaway and/or 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 young persons are
housed short-term until another placement can be
found.
Other: This includes independent living programs
and anything that cannot be classified above.
