  • Incorrect description. Offensive and labeling. It is not for "underaged criminals" but for those who have not yet attained the age of majority who may be emergently placed and in need of state services, accused of various minor delinquent acts, or accused of serious crimes. It is a short term housing facility for these purposes, while the courts and other family and children service agencies work to determine long-term placement or reunification. See the difference in the details there?
  • Admittedly, my phrasing "housing facility" does not connote the concrete, iron, and electronic door lock reality that is the experience of LCJC. From experience, it is very much a jail experience in sight, sounds, boredome, smell, awful food, and aggression.
