Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The answer should include the following points:
The programs in these institutions would:
emphasize work readiness, job training, and work experience.
attempt to establish close ties to the community to which the youth would return.
employ flexible staff who would act as positive role models.
enforce the rules strictly.
provide opportunities for decision making, with consequences clearly and fully related to the choices made.
provide opportunities to enhance self-esteem.
create a continuity of care between the program or treatment sequence and integration into the community to which the youth is returning.
offer supportive services in the community after completion of the program or treatment sequence as long as the youth needs them.
