According to data collected in 2003 by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), just over 96,000 youth were incarcerated in juvenile correctional facilities throughout the United States (not including those being held in detention). An additional 10,000 youth were in state prisons or adult jails during the same time, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. A recent study found that at least 37 percent of incarcerated youth are eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), (Quinn, Rutherford, Leone, Osher & Poirer, 2005), compared with less than nine percent of the overall public school population, indicating that youth in the juvenile justice system are significantly overrepresented in special education. The purpose of this document is to describe infrastructures and initiatives at the state level for serving students with disabilities who are already in the juvenile justice system or at risk for entering the juvenile justice system. For the purposes of this document, "students in the juvenile justice system" refers to children and youth facing juvenile delinquency charges, placed on probation by juvenile court, confined in juvenile correctional facilities, paroled from a juvenile correctional facility and/or in adult prison as youthful offenders.
