[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 318244, member: 6747"] Some of them are convicted for other things than murder. They didn't understand the strikes laws before it hit them hard. We have all witnessed how relatives has turned problematic teenager years into a better adult life. I just have to think of my brother. Had there been strikes back then and had he been caught everytime, he would be in jail for life. At some point he matured and he did choose to live at a very remote place so most of the temptations would be out of reach. In fact he was the one I turned to when my daughter had a rough time. I sometime cry when I see a 10 year old in shackles as it was done in Florida when the homeless man was assaulted. I believe that those case where kids that young hang out on the street should have been taken care of sooner before people are hurt. I watched a show about some boys being sent to Kenya. While the boys improved it was too expensive and too dangerous considering the political situation abroad. However, they learned something from this project and today the organization behind the project is running local boarding schools where the kids in risk live in a structured environment just streets away from their home. Sometime the home environment can be so damaged that the teenagers need to be away while the parents are treated. I hope that the supreme court allows youths who are serving life without parole for other things than murder a chance to be granted parole when they have shown a longer period of continued improvement. We have to accept that some teenagers should wear a label on their forehead saying "Closed down due to rebuilding". [/QUOTE]
