I'm surprised it was so harsh but good (?). I question the good because I do think it is a good idea to give a harsh sentence but what is the plan for him while in prison? I hope he won't get out early but what is the plan?

He'll be a 35 year old man when he is released from prison. He already had a bad start to life and wasn't given good guidance by his parents. What type of rehab will he really get in prison? He won't be really educated. He won't have good influences (or will he?) around him and he will leave prison as still a young man. Young men seem to commit the majority of crimes so there is a chance that he will commit more crimes when he is released. I doubt he will have even the slightest positive impact on society.

[b]In cases like this, is it better to keep them in prison for the full 40 years so his most criminal heavy years will be spent locked up?[/b][/quote]

Yes.

I’m more concerned with public safety than his rehabilitation. [/quote]

I really do hear what you are saying, but what type of rehabilitation is really going on in prisons? This kid will spend the rest of his formative years surrounded by fellow criminals. The influence can't be good on a teen boy as he develops into a man.

I forget the terminology for this, but the young male brain is more prone to violence than an older man's. What rehab is he really getting in prison that will help him develop into a productive member of society? One that won't revert back to criminal behavior?

Being concerned for safety means concern for rehabilitation of criminals, almost all of whom will be released from prison eventually.[/quote][/quote]
