List the major differences between adult and juvenile corrections programs and facilities.

What will be an ideal response?


Unlike adult facilities, juvenile facilities are required to provide educational services to inmates. Juvenile facilities also have a higher ratio of staff to residents, which leads to much higher operating costs. These higher costs mean there is less money to invest in building new facilities, meaning juvenile facilities are typically older and in worse shape than adult facilities.
