An informant is not:

the best place to interrogate is a police station.

Privacy is the key factor.

When questioning juveniles you must obtain parental permission.

A statement is a narrative of events related to a crime.

A confession:

Is different then an admission
Does not have to be written.

What makes a statement inadmissible?

Promising not to prosecute.

Miranda must be understandable.

Custody is indicated by all accept:

Being interviewed at work.

Miranda must be given during investigatory detention based on reasonable suspicion.

Silent response to Miranda is not a waving of rights. If you still question you will loose
the confession.
