Juvenile Justice by John Schwartz. It is about minor criminals problems and what happened when they put them in adult jails. A lot of them had killed them self, and that become a big problem. Many states have change their lows and try to not offends them as adults. Philosophy and prosecutors criticize fight for the juvenile because they think that juveniles still young their brain haven't develop to become a man, so they shouldn't tried them as an adult.
in my opinion this is a really big problem not only in U.S,but in all the world. They shouldn't be with adults jails because even if they killed someone. Being with adults in the same jail it's dangers for them. It will put them in risk of victim for the other prisoners. what yo think make the minors become to be criminals ? is it from the place where they live? or because of they want money ?
I have learn from what I read tow new vocabulary :
1- nationwide (adj)
extending throughout a nation.
2- parole (n)
a promise made with or confirmed by a pledge of a prisoner of war to fulfill stated conditions in consideration of his release.
I think minors become criminals because they don't have enough love, guidance and/or support from their parents or because they are easily influenced by bad things in their environment (friends, drugs, etc.) I think the government needs to invest more money in education, activities and counseling for youths so that they don't end up in prison. (But unfortunately prison is big business in the U.S., so there is more money to be made if there are more people in jail.)
