 Juvenile Out-of-Home Placement--Summary
Some delinquent juveniles are sent to correctional facilities that aim to hold offenders accountable for their actions, protect the public, or provide therapeutic programs.
Juveniles placed in shelters and foster care usually remained in their home counties, but those placed in mental health treatment facilities, group homes, and correctional facilities were more commonly in distant counties.
For delinquent juveniles, counties have used out-of-state facilities for a variety of reasons: for programs that are longer or address specialized needs better than those available in Minnesota; for lower costs; to discourage juveniles from running away; and because out-of-state facilities are closer than in-state facilities for some counties.
