An Indiana Assessment of Education Services in Juvenile Detention Centers and County Jails
In 2004, the Youth Law T.E.A.M. of Indiana conducted an assessment of the status of education services provided in detention facilities to determine whether model policies and procedures were being implemented by juvenile detention centers, county jails and special education districts. The information provided herein is a "one-day snapshot" of the status of services provided in Indiana's juvenile detention centers and to offenders between the ages of 18-21 in Indiana's county jails. Included within this "snapshot" is the identification of barriers that detention center personnel, county jail personnel, and special education district personnel perceive when educating juveniles with disabilities in the juvenile detention and county jail settings.
