A Teen’s Guide to Surviving Juvenile Hall

By Daniel Hernandez

While working as a juvenile corrections officer in Orange County’s most difficult facility, Daniel Hernandez had to quickly learn how to recognize behaviors, body language, and other social cues of its often defiant and violent teens to ensure the safety of the staff and minors.

In a guide directed toward helping teens navigate through this unique and challenging situation, Hernandez shares his professional experiences accompanied by simple tools and time-tested wisdom to lead minors through the booking process, work and volunteer opportunities, and ways to follow directions and respect others, participate on a team, properly communicate, take initiative, keep an open mind, and maintain self-control, even amid tough circumstances. Throughout his presentation, Hernandez encourages teens to take advantage of the offered resources to do the work and ultimately become better people.

A Teen’s Guide to Surviving Juvenile Hall is a guide geared toward helping adolescent offenders succeed while serving time.
