W8: Juvenile Corrections

Juvenile offenders are a population that correctional agencies must handle differently than adult offenders. While the high-level process flow for dealing with juvenile offenders resembles that of adult offenders within the correctional system, unique differences do exist.

In your initial post, identify and describe at least two differences in the way juvenile offenders must be handled differently than adult offenders by correctional agencies, especially when incarcerated. Next, evaluate whether or not you believe the way juvenile offenders are managed under probation supervision differs greatly from the way adult offenders are managed while on probation or parole. Support the position you take on this issue.
