摘要：

Litigation is an expensive and contentious means to solve the twin problems of over-crowding and dangerous conditions in juvenile detention centers. However it is possible to use lawsuits as effective agents for change. Willingness to mediate settlement and develop a common approach to problems causes greater change than through trial and court-imposed injunction or consent decree. This alternative approach obligates litigants to engage a consortium to attack institutional conditions and develop a continuum of alternatives. It also requires sensible population control resulting in decreased costs and a guarantee that children charged with serious and repeated offenses remain in secure detention.
