Brezina, Corona. Juvenile Detention.


Brezina, Corona.                Juvenile Detention.           Rosen Publishing Group                 64p         $31.95  978-1-4488-5560-5          2012      ms/hs   VG  series: FAQ: Teen Life                  Nonfiction           

This book describes what it means to be “in the system” and the various types of juvenile detention and juvenile detention facilities that exist.  It explains what daily life is like in juvenile detention, and what life is like for someone who has been in it.

Corona Brezina has created a responsible book that provides
a great deal of unbiased information to teenagers in language they will be able to understand.  The layout is not flashy or overly colorful, but it is attractive, with modest borders and headings that enhance the serious text.  Full-color photographs and captions add interest and emphasis to the text. 

The book concludes with an extensive glossary,
lists of resources and websites for more information, sources for further reading, and an index, making it a great resource tool for young readers.
