Thom and Dudley Sharp debate Should children get life in prison?

[ultradumbass]

people become bad in prison because society makes them more angry because society is stupid.

The brains "not fully developed" belong to the people imprisoning children for life.

Please dont start abusing me because Im a foreigner commenting on your justice system Im sure its the best in the world A number one and all that but have you ever considered trying the system where you trial adults as adults and children as children I know this sounds insane and extreme but it just might work.

[jimlaregina]

Actually, what you say sounds sane to me.

[ranseeka]

@harding10B In theroy we do prosecute children and adults seprartly however prosecutors have the choice to try children as adults if they deem a crime to be serious enough and that meens that a lot of children that should be tried as minors get tried as adults

[Smartassawhip]

Children should not be given life sentences as their brains are not fully developed. The frontal lobe is the last part of the brain to develope and that is also the part of the brain that is responsible for rational thought and reason when it comes to decision making.

[sushiyama1]

Exactly.
