The first line of this opinion says:
"The juvenile court committed L.H. to a secure youth treatment facility after he pled no contest to committing first degree murder."
I'm sure that the relevant terminology is old hat to people in the juvenile justice field, but for generalists like myself, the term "secure youth treatment facility" has an aspect of 1984-like doublespeak. We don't call it a prison. It's solely for "secure youth treatment." With emphasis on the "treatment" part, of course.
Even though I suspect that the "treatment" part plays much less of a role, in reality, in these places than the "secure" (e.g., prison) part.
