Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facility Census, 1977

The 1977 Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facility
Census, is the fifth in a series of surveys of state and local public
residential facilities in the juvenile justice system. There is one
record for each juvenile detention facility that had a population of
at least 50 percent juveniles. Each record is classified into one of
six categories: detention centers or shelters, reception or diagnostic
centers, training schools, ranches, forestry camps and farms, and
halfway houses and group homes. Data include state, county, and city
identification, level of government responsible for the facility, type
of agency, agency identification, resident population by sex, age
range, detention status, and offense, admissions and departures of
population, average length of stay, staffing and expenditures, age and
capacity of the facility, and programs and services available.
