When most people think about juvenile detention facilities, or ‘juvee’ they usually think of rough, dark, and basically scary places where the inmates (who are between the ages of 10 and 17) are treated badly. People seem to get this impression as a result of stereotypes that are present in our society. For example, in the book by Louis Sachar, Holes, a young boy is sent to a detention camp for boys. When the main character, Stanley, finds out that he is going to camp, he is excited and cannot wait. Of course, it turns out the camp is not at all what he expected. Immediately after arriving, he is told what he will be doing while at the camp. “You are to dig one hole each day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Each hole must be five feet deep, and five feet across in every direction…No one is going to baby-sit you…the longer it takes you to dig, the longer you will be out in the sun…You thirsty? …Well, you better get used to it. You’re going to be thirsty for the next eighteen months (Sachar 14-15).” If the only impression one has ever gotten from the entertainment industry concerning juvenile detention facilities was a negative one such as in Holes, one cannot be expected to think highly of the juvenile justice system.
