Detention of children for the juvenile court is the temporary care of children in physically restricted facilities pending court disposition or transfer to another jurisdiction or agency. In contrast, juvenile shelter care and foster homes do not involve restrictive facilities, and jail detention is inappropriate for children. However, secure custody is needed for children who cannot safely remain in their own homes or be placed in a shelter facility, and the child has the right to constructive group activity and individual guidance pending court disposition. The need for juvenile detention also highlights the need for community social services, particularly voluntary treatment services. These should include protective casework services, child and family casework services, school casework and other special services, child welfare services, community health services, psychological and psychiatric clinical services, resident psychiatric treatment centers, juvenile shelter care, homemaker services, foster home and institutional resources, and special foster homes for certain children.
