Abstract	Juveniles convicted of serious offenses usually end up in large correctional facilities that focus on punishment--not rehabilitation. The state of Missouri, however, has found a better way to help end the cycle of crime: by creating a network of small facilities that provide therapy and educational opportunities, it has dramatically reduced recidivism and helped thousands of youth make better choices in their lives. Tyler, Eric, and Jason are among those children. In their time at these state-run facilities, they have worked through their problems, earned academic credits, and renewed their interest in learning. (As Provided).
