It's easy to say put them in jail and throw away the key....that is what is wrong here!<BR/>We as a society have found it easier to just "throw our youth away" without taking into regard their background, upbringing, circumstances.<BR/>Sure, if a life is taken, someone needs to be held accountable, if it is a YOUTH, not an adult..they should BE TRIED IN JUVENILE COURT, not in adult court. Sentenced accordingly. <BR/>Their mentality is not the same as an adult, they should not be placed into the ADULT PRISONS. I am sure you all have an idea of what happens to them once they get there. It happens in juvenile facilities as well, not only are they made to pay the consequences but the truth is they all pay each and every day they are incarcerated in ways you cannot imagine, some of you will say, "so what, that's what they get", or "oh well, that's life" but if it were YOUR SON or DAUGHTER, you'd think twice about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182098.post-1172710172374679232007-02-28T18:49:00.000-06:002007-02-28T18:49:00.000-06:00Give´em jail.

Sure, educating them better would have been fairer. <BR/>Not educating them later in jail, at a more expensive board and room included rate.<BR/>But juveniles cannot become a special privilege group that can do the ultimate crime, murder, and get away with just a slap on the wrist. That would be enticing for criminal organizations to lower their "average thug" age of entrance, manipulating theses juveniles for their illicit purposes. Just for severe crimes (which there can be no contract, or voting age of consent, not even for adults)juveniles should do the only right time--adult time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182098.post-1170359980146897612007-02-01T13:59:00.000-06:002007-02-01T13:59:00.000-06:00I have gone through this experience my brother who...I have gone through this experience my brother who is 18 months older than I was covicted of six felonies, one of them being attempt of murder. I am not trying to excuse my brothers behavior, he did some terrible things. One thing the courts failed to look at was the circumstances of our up bringing lots of bouncing around, poverty and abuse.<BR/><BR/>How does a child react to these things who shows them love? Has anyone been in these shoes? My brother was sentanced to 45 years to life and is going on 11 years.<BR/><BR/>He was shipped to a level 4 maximum state prison pelican bay on his 18th b-day and has been in custody since he was 16 years old.<BR/><BR/>My brother has matured and evolved into one of the most intelligent human beings, he has rehabillitated in every way.<BR/><BR/>He is years beyond his age due to all the circumstances, he is remorseful and wishes life could have been different.<BR/><BR/>Where is his forgiveness? Wasn't jail created to rehabilitate people?<BR/><BR/>My brother deserves a second chance at life. A chance to prove he can be a productive citizen a father and a chance to share his experiences and meybe prevent juveniles from walking down the same path.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182098.post-1168625601463036252007-01-12T12:13:00.000-06:002007-01-12T12:13:00.000-06:00I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD DIE!!!

You have juveniles that do minor criminal acts and you have juveniles that do hard core criminal acts.<BR/><BR/> Why allow a juvenile to do something when its wrong? A juvenile will always think they are too young to be treated like an adult; therefore, they are not afraid of being treated like an adult because the system think juveniles do thing for the lack of training at home or because their minds are not fully developed.<BR/><BR/> If a juvenile can take a life then a juvenile should be able to take prison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182098.post-1147801324163929752006-05-16T12:42:00.000-05:002006-05-16T12:42:00.000-05:00I think that in order to try a minor as an adult,t...I think that in order to try a minor as an adult,the crime must be severe enough to where a jury decides that the punishments minors are subjected to isn't enough.
