detention (or) custody


Explanation:
From the language used, this appears to be a "Spain specific" question. In the Spanish juvenile justice system a whole different set of terminology is used to describe the criminal offenses of minors. "Internamiento" is the term used when a juvenile is remanded to a juvenile detention center of some sort. "Medida provisional" usually refers to some type of pretrial order, but there is not enough context provided to know whether this would be appropriate here. So you might translate the text as follows:


Me permito comunicarle que se acordó como medida provisional el internamiento de las menores a la casa hogar =

I wish to inform you that a provisional custody order was issued remanding the minors to a juvenile group home

(I hope this fits you context)

Las medidas de intermamiento

Las medidas privativas de libertad, la detención y las medidas cautelares de internamiento, se ejecutan en centros específicos para menores.

Estos establecimientos están divididos en módulos adecuados a la edad, madurez, necesidades y habilidades sociales y deben favorecer el contacto con los familiares y allegados.

Igualmente fijan los permisos ordinarios y extraordinarios de los que puede disfrutar el menor internado.

El menor debe ser internado en el centro más adecuado para el cumplimiento la medida eligiendo el más cercano al domicilio en el que haya plazas.

El traslado a otro centro distinto de los anteriores, sólo puede realizarse en interés del menor y requiere la aprobación del Juez de Menores que haya dictado sentencia.

María, I've just seen from your other question about the "Procuraduría de la Familia" that this question does not concern Spain. However from the context it would appear that this involves turning the minors over to the custody of a juvenile group home.
