What is the name of your state? Michigan

My son is 16 and he is in juvy hall right now, the courts are trying to charcge him with 3 felonies and 7 misdemeanors which he pleaded not guilty. He turns 17 in 8 months and in MI at age 17 you are considered an adult old enough to now go to jail. So could they just keep him for that 8 months and then release him when he turns 17 or could they possibly even keep him longer??? serious answers please. Thanks.

No he is being charged as a juvenile and here in michigan if you are charged as a juvenile then you stay in the juvenile facility or get released they cant transfer him to jail or anything on juvenile charges unless he was being tried as an adult and he's not. So i was wondering would they release when he turns 17 or keep him.
