The age at which a minor can be sent to a juvenile detention center, often referred to as juvi, varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, most states set the minimum age at around 10 to 12 years old. However, some states have lower minimum ages, such as 7 years old, while others may have higher minimum ages. It is important to consult the specific laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction to determine the exact age requirements for juvenile detention.

The age to be admitted to juvenile detention centers varies by state, but typically ranges from 10 to 18 years old. Generally, individuals under 18 are considered juveniles in the criminal justice system.

Maybe if you know anyone that is 17 then you could pay them to buy it for you that would be alot easier and you wont go to juvi for that
