It depends. Why did you retaliate? Not a good sign --
In terms of your imprisonment and sentence, talk to your public defender. He or she knows your case best (i..e, any priors, if you were charged as an adult, any conditions). I don't know if you are assuming you will be in a juvenile detention center or if you have actually been sentenced to there.
