Abstract
LORRPM establishes a new catalogue of measures to impose on those juveniles who commit punishable acts, among which is the detention in a juvenile facility. Nevertheless, we can not properly talk about juvenile prisons until the twentieth century, but about protection institutions. Without claiming a purely historical review, and bearing in mind the characteristics of the current juvenile facilities, we will address the origin of the detention of juvenile offenders in institutions where educational¿correctional philosophy was already present: the Hospices. Thus, we establish the possible parallels and differences in connection with the current juvenile facilities to analyze its legal nature.
