Minors and prisons are places to punish criminals for education, rescue and reform, so that they can deeply understand their own illegal and criminal facts and thus become law-abiding citizens. There is still a difference between juvie and prison. Let me give you a list.

First, the subjects are different.

Minors aim to educate, save and reform juvenile offenders who have reached the age of 14 but have not reached the age of 18. Prison is the place where all adult prisoners are held, including prisons, detention centers and detention centers.

Second, the education methods are different.

Whether it is a juvenile detention center or a prison, the purpose is to help criminals turn over a new leaf. Because of the special status of juvenile offenders, we should create a special environment for them and consider their growth and development environment. Therefore, in the juvenile detention center, we mainly let them do some light work, and the methods of induction, care, encouragement and influence are adopted by special personnel to give juvenile offenders a comprehensive education in morality, intelligence, beauty and physical fitness suitable for their psychological and physiological characteristics, promote their ideological transformation, transform them into new people who are beneficial to society at an early date, and help them to further their studies in the future. Prisons are mainly for adult criminals. People are bound to make mistakes. What they are afraid of is that those who make mistakes and don't correct them will just correct them in time. Depriving criminals of their personal freedom and isolating them from the society first makes them lose the conditions for committing crimes again, and at the same time warns them to change their criminal thinking. Finally, through the principle of combining punishment with reform and combining education with labor, they are trained to be law-abiding citizens.

Third, the management methods are different.

Juvenile detention center is one of the reform-through-labour institutions in China, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the judicial organs of all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. In addition to setting up prisons and reform-through-labour teams, functional institutions should also set up necessary teaching and research institutions and be equipped with teachers. The competent department of a prison is the Prison Administration, and the highest administrative department is the Ministry of Justice.

Juveniles and prisons are places to transform different groups of people, and the above list is basically their differences. I only hope that the broad masses of the people will be law-abiding citizens.
