Tens of thousands of children are incarcerated in youth prisons every day; thousands more are also locked up in adult prisons and jails.

Many youth prisons are called “schools,” but few of these facilities provide either quality education services or mental health care or other services children need to heal. YOUTH INTERROGATIONS Any young person facing a police interrogation has the legal right to ask for a lawyer before answering questions.

The Supreme Court of the United States accepted certiorari to determine whether a section of New York’s Family Court Act violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The section authorized pretrial detention of accused juvenile delinquents if it was found that there was a "serious risk" that the juvenile may commita subsequent crime.
