abstract = "The aim of this chapter is to explore the provision of libraries to children convicted of criminal acts and sentenced to a period of incarceration in juvenile justice facilities. The chapter introduces the existing international literature and research that is available on the topic, then explores the current Australian context through a recent study of the national provision of libraries in Australian juvenile justice facilities. The provision of libraries to young people living in corrective custody is then exemplified through a description of the library at Birchwood School in South Carolina, USA - an example of best-practice and finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the need for libraries in juvenile justice facilities and the potential they can play in the lives the young people they serve.",
