## Opinion text

BRETT, Judge,
specially concurring.
I concur in this decision, but I emphasize what is said in the decision that the juvenile treatment is intended to be for rehabilitation purposes and not as punishment. Likewise, it is the responsibility of the Institutions, Social and Rehabilitative Services Department to make the determination concerning when the particular juvenile is properly rehabilitated.
