Do you capitalize the word juvie in a sentence?

It depends on the context.

* If "juvie" is short for "juvenile" and refers to a juvenile detention center or the state of being a juvenile delinquent, then it is generally not capitalized. For example:

* "He spent a few months in juvie for petty theft."

* "She's been hanging out with the juvie crowd."

* However, if "juvie" is used as a proper noun to refer to a specific juvenile detention center, then it should be capitalized. For example:

* "He was sent to Juvie Hall for his crimes."

In most cases, "juvie" is used as a slang term and should not be capitalized.
