[quote=Anonymous]It has been the trend the last ten to 15 years not to incarcerate juveniles. Many juvenile facilities have been closed since the juvenile incarceration rate has rapidly declined. The number of incarcerated youth declined 77% from more than 108,000 in 2000 to about 25,000 in 2020, according to the data from the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. There needs to be a system that isn't incarceration in juvenile jails and isn't released to your parents. There needs to be a medium option where maybe you go home at night with a monitoring system but during the day you go to a day treatment program and get counseling and mandatory schooling. Right now that 14 and 16 year olds are going to their junior high school and high school and bragging to their friends how nothing happened to them. If you are willing to hold up a stranger with a ghost gun, imagine how you act in a classroom and how disruptive you are to other students trying to learn. [/quote]
