Depends on what he or she did. If its sever then they can be there for months to years. My ex served 7 months in juvi for running away from home. I think that right there can answer your question. If it wasnt serious then weeks to months at max. if the person is 17 and its serious then he may be looking at adult time or a youthful offender camp for a year or two or more. You gotta be more specific cause i can go on and on about this for hours

∙ 12y agoYes. Police detain people when there's suspicion, so that person can be examined to see if there is any proof.
ie, a house was burgled and someone was seen leaving the scene. The police check the vicinity and spot someone of that description. They do not have 'proof' but can detain that person so that a forensic check can confirm or deny that suspicion.
Police do not need to have absolute "proof." The law allows them to investigate suspicious circumstances (or people) without absolute knowledge that something has, or is about to, occur.
