Juvies is an MTV (Calamari Productions), and later MSNBC television show following minors in the Lake County, Indiana Juvenile Justice Complex.
On July 30, 2008, the NWI Times reported that production was underway for another documentary series also to be filmed at the Lake County Juvenile Justice Complex in Crown Point, Indiana.
The series does not cover the trial on the charges themselves, however a brief epilogue appears at the end of each hour-long episode updating viewers on the eventual outcome of the case.
The Lake County Juvenile Court uses part time public defenders who also maintain private law practices.
The State of Indiana is represented by a deputy prosecuting attorney, who elicits testimony and presents evidence in support of the charges pending against the child.
