Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

An Attention Home would be the best fit in this case.
(i) Detention centers are also called juvenile halls.
 Intended to be temporary holding centers.
 Administered by the court, although state agencies, city or county governments, welfare departments, and juvenile courts also manage these facilities.
 The traditional detention center has sparked many horror stories.
 These facilities have a toxic environment.
(ii) Attention homes were initiated in Boulder, Colorado, and have spread to other jurisdictions.
 Their stated purpose is to give juveniles attention rather than detention.
 These facilities have no fences, locked doors, or other physical restraints.
 They also provide more extensive programming and encourage more interaction among residents and staff.
