A Therapeutic Detention Program for Adolescents on Court Probation
Abstract
In an effort to accomplish penal reform at the community level, a peer-confrontation program was established in a local juvenile hail for temporary detention. The program was initiated on a unit for adolescent girls, and permits them to assume as much responsibility as possible for their own behavior and the behavior of their peers. Although a psychiatrist serves as consultant, the intensive, treatment-oriented program is run by detention staff members rather than by trained mental health personnel.
