Abstract: A neglected issue in the field of juvenile delinquency is the nature of educational programming in institutions for delinquents . Reeducation of detained youths is often advanced as an important factor in their reform, and most institutions for youttrful offenders provide a school or other educational delivery systems for residents . The details of these systems have not been closely studied, however.

A total of 136 major correctional institutions for male and female juveniles were identified as having educational programs available. A facility was excluded from the survey if the school program was not administered directly
