An Alaska Disposition Order — Institutional Placement is a court-ordered placement setting for a juvenile offender who is found delinquent by the court. This order may be imposed when the court finds that a juvenile is beyond parental control or is in need of special services or treatment. This order typically involves the placement of the juvenile in an institution, such as a residential treatment center, detention center, or secure facility. There are two types of Alaska Disposition Order — Institutional Placement: a short-term placement and a long-term placement. A short-term placement is usually for a period of up to one year, while a long-term placement typically lasts more than one year. Both types of placements are designed to provide the juvenile with the necessary services and treatment to help them develop the skills necessary to lead a successful and productive life.
