No you can not put your kid in Juvenile hall. But you can send them on a tour of San Quentin. There's a program called Brown issues. They put together trips.
No, they do not have a scared straight program. I've worked for the department for 12 years. Tours are available to the public however if you call and schedule ahead.
I would suggest calling their offices. Just to get a clear and informative answer from them. Thanks for your question.
