You should really educate yourself. Not adult prison... juvenile facility for rehabilitation. Think white 16 driving drunk.., where does he go. Not adult jail with no future. Funny white guys fo murder all the time and rape, they don’t do the time yet here you are living there! |
Depends on the state. Plenty are in prison. Even white women. |

Not 16 yos. And we are talking about all states we are talking local. But nice deflection... have some honor ...just admit it. |
| History is a flat circle. It's 2021 and we are going to do Willie Horton all over again like its 1988. |
Not deflecting. There are states where 13 year old murderers go to prison. First juvenile institution, then on to prison. |
| Is there any evidence that someone that sick and devoid of empathy at age 16 can ever be rehabilitated? |
| That’s what justice is. You get what you vote for. |
DC is such a very subsidized city full of programming. I do agree that children who end up in the lockup because their parents have abjectly failed them, should not be released until they have met a series of educational and socialization wickets. Sit before a sort of, are you fit for society parole based on taking advantage of opportunities while in the lockup parole board. Maybe Charles can look at this. |
How does Charles Allen have anything to do with this? Why are you obsessing over him like a creepy stalker? Get a grip. |
you should probably flip through the newspaper occasionally and you will find the answers you seek |
Food for thought:
There is something to be said for a model of humane incarceration with a focus on restorative justice that has proven to be highly effective - THE most effective incarceration system in the world. And yes, Norway’s society isn’t the same as ours, but the method of treating prisoners like human beings of inherent worth, and helping them to learn empathy and consequences by a restorative justice process, is entirely possible here, too. It would just be a matter of will. In fact, it was once the way incarceration was approached in this country many decades ago. A lot of people grow up in traumatic homes full of neglect and violence. They won’t learn to be any different by experiencing more of the same while incarcerated. Treat them to loving kindness and essentially reparent them in all the aspects of good character and good citizenship and you’ll more than likely end up with a human being who can contribute and be no further threat to society. We will never eradicate crime, but that is no reason to throw all the babies out with the bath water. |
That's great, Did Charles Allens restorative justice bill address anything like what you mention above? Did it address anything of what happens during incarceration to ensure good citizenship is taught? Please respond. |
A law Allen sponsored and very loudly champions at all times resulted in someone getting murdered. Try to keep up. |

Early on April 9, as a gang of young men who had invaded her Washington apartment looking for drug money held her, her mother and her aunt on the floor at gunpoint and discussed how they would kill the witnesses, 16-year-old Denise Michelle King rose to her knees and began praying.
In her prayer, the girl said she was ready to die, then asked God to let the gunmen spare her younger brother and sister, who were in another room, and take her life instead. As Denise prayed, the girl's mother reached out and tapped the boot of one of nine young men, all armed with guns, who were in the apartment. "Please, if you believe in God, don't hurt my babies," Nancy Slaughter, King's mother, implored. "Get off my shoe, b*tch," the young man snapped back. Almost immediately, Denise King, her mother and aunt each were shot once in the head. The younger children were not harmed. |
