ABSTRACT
The number of juveniles in adult correctional facilities will continue to grow as states turn to the adult criminal justice system as one solution to increasing violent juvenile crime rates. Many questions regarding transfer and its consequences have been and are being researched. One seemingly unexplored area of research focuses on the adult system's response to these young newcomers. This research suggests that correctional administrators have some serious concerns regarding the placement of youth into adult correctional facilities, as well as concerns about what the system does and does not offer to these transferred youth.
