Is there a mechanism for spending ages 14-18 in juvey, and 19+ in adult prison?
I know in GA there isn't. The most a juvey can be sentenced (even for murder) is until he/she is 18. It's 18 and out, so prosecutors/judges tend to push the hard core cases into big boy court so a realistic sentence is possible.
Big boy prison does have a wing or floor for juveys, though, so they will be beaten, tormented, and loved by people of their own age.
