Sumario:Using the NLSY-1997, the current study examined if juvenile incarceration in US adult correctional facilities influenced the average number of weeks worked and income earned during adulthood and the number of years until an individual worked a full week and earned federal minimum wage. These effects were also specified by a juvenile’s race. Results demonstrated that juvenile incarceration in an adult facility was associated with negative employment and income outcomes during early adulthood. Also, Black juveniles are more susceptible to these economic consequences. Theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
