Juvenile Death Penalty

Troubleshooter · 02-24-2004, 04:01 PM

A couple of points to consider.

Institutionalizing a child will result in something resembling the way old-school practice of pederasty. Give up some ass and learn the ways to not get caught. Some of these facilities have better access to educational resources than anything they've had before.

Prison used to be a place to fear, now it sometimes has better living conditions than they have at home.

Also, someone mentioned that these kids shouldn't pay the price for poor parenting. Well, even the poorest parent instills in a child the idea of right and wrong. These chldren know that what they are doing is against the law, and thusly wrong. Not suffering any consequences for you behavior at home cannot completely excuse you from the consequences of your actions. You'd have to be like those children in Africa, in another thread, to have that excuse fly.
