flag U.S. juveniles face longer detention without pre-trial credit, impacting over two dozen states.

flag Young offenders in the U.S. often face longer detention times due to a lack of credit for time spent awaiting trial in juvenile detention centers. flag Unlike adults, whose pre-trial detention counts towards their sentence, many states do not offer this credit for juveniles, leading to extended confinement and negative impacts on their well-being and access to services. flag This practice, prevalent in about two dozen states, adds months to their detention, affecting their rehabilitation and costing taxpayers more.
