Abstract
This Note analyzes the legal rights of learning disabled juvenile delinquents to appropriate education while incarcerated in correctional institutions and detention facilities. The initial focus is on defining learning disabilities and their correlation to juvenile delinquency. Because of this correlation, remediation of learning disabilities can reduce juvenile recidivism. Apart from the benefit of reduced recidivism, there is a statutory requirement for special education for incarcerated juvenile delinquents in state correctional facilities and detention centers. Finally, the constitutionality of preventive detention may require the provision of special education services as part of the treatment for learning disabled juveniles.
