Juvenile Court or Adult Court
The issue that I have chosen is “Juvenile Justice.” If a youth commits a serious crime they should be tried as an adult. Juvenile court is only for people who commit less threatining crimes. If a youth kills, rapes, or other related adult crimes they should go to adult court. They should go to adult court so that they learn from there actions. They know what is right from wrong so they should not be doing these crimes in the first place. I believe that all people that do crimes that can affect everyone they should be tried as an adult and that includes youths. Youths that do harmless crimes do not deserve being trid as an adult because that is harsh. They will learn from these minor mistakes. But the youth that committed the serious crimes might not learn from it and do it again. that is why all youth that commit major crimes should be tried as an adult.

My response to this blog is surely out of personal experience.I myself have been incarcerated frequently and I am still currently under the supervision of the penal system.The only thing that I can really say to this is that if you haven't been there personally,then maybe you should take a deeper look into the affects that an adult correction facility has on a youth vs. that of a youth facility.From my personally being there over and over throughout the years,being incarcerated as a youth and placed in an adult environment only causes one to harden themselves to survive the environment behind those walls.For instance, you become a more efficient fighter.This is just one thing amongst many as a means for survival in prison.You also learn from those murderers,thieves,brutes,etc. on how to become better at what you do upon release and all that happens is worse crimes being committed when these youths are released back into society as adults.Believe me,I have seen this happen countless times to many of my friends.Two of them who are doing life sentences for manslaughter charges that they were convicted of at the age of seventeen.These two men are now in their thirties and are both up to be released on parole within the next three to five years.How's them apples?
