Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of education in juvenile detention centers (JDCs) while providing valuable insights for educational leaders to enhance education. Understanding the key barriers, including the lack of administrative support and the challenge of limited resource availability, underlines the significant role of educational leaders in overcoming these challenges for better results for the detained teens. Therefore, the primary focus of this article is to highlight the lack of administrative support as a major barrier to providing quality education in JDCs and offer insights for building an effective leadership capacity. Educational administrators in juvenile justice settings face unique problems that call for innovative and functional strategies to avert being ineffective leaders. The article will also bring to the forefront evidence based practices from two case studies representing successful educational programs in juvenile justice settings. This thorough review of the literature examines the critical levers that may enhance education in JDCs. Two fundamental questions guide this literature review: 1) What is the current state of education in juvenile facilities, and what challenges and best practices are evident? 2) How can educational leaders improve the academic and behavioral outcomes of the youth in JDCs?
