1920 US Federal Census, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, Council Bluffs, Kane Twp.
Census of the Juvenile Detention Home, Pierce Street, Council Bluffs. Enumerated 8 January 1920.
This was one of several homes in the city for "wayward" children. Not all children were "juvenile offenders" however, as many were sent to such a home if their parents couldn't care for or feed them or the children were not attending school or were orphaned.
