Juvenile imprisonment in the Republic of Croatia is executed in several penitentiaries, in closed, semi-open and open conditions. In this paper, I will present the treatment of a juvenile offender sentenced to juvenile imprisonment as the most severe criminal sanction young people can be imposed to regarding the conflict with the law; from referral, execution of an individual treatment program, post-penal admission and release from serving a sentence of juvenile imprisonment. I will show the specificity and diversity in individualized programs of execution of juvenile imprisonment in relation to other prisoners (lack of financial and accommodation capacities, adequate professional staff with specific knowledge and skills). In this paper will be presented statistical indicators related to the sentence of juvenile imprisonment (sentence imposition and execution), and through the case study report will be pictured a sentence of juvenile imprisonment on adults regarding to certain criminal offenses; on which criteria and specifics the court sentence juvenile imprisonment and not prison to individual (younger adult).
