Reform school

Defination: a place where a young juvenile delinquent (criminal) goes instead of prison. Also known as reformatory. It is an archaic term.
Etymology: From the word reform, meaning to change for the better
Sentence: We have heard stories of juvenile delinquents spending almost half their teenage lives in reform school and we wondered if Dally would be getting to that mark soon.
