There does not appear to be any reason to use "secured correctional facility" instead of "juvenile correctional facility" in ch. 938, stats. "Juvenile correctional facility" is a more descriptive term for a facility that deals solely with juvenile offenders. "Secured correctional facility" does not indicate that the correctional facility is for juvenile offenders.

Note: See the Note to s. 938.02 (15m), stats., as renumbered to s. 938.02 (10p) by this bill.
