The next section reviews information on the costs of alternatives to the placement of juveniles in jail. Three policy choices available to decision makers faced with removing juveniles from jails are discussed. The next sections present models for the three policy areas discussed: secure detention facilities, community residential care, and community supervision. Each section describes the characteristics of the programs within each policy area and presents cost models derived from the sample. Results of the 50-state survey regarding existing juvenile populations, and costs and ramifications of removal are reviewed.
