Young Kids, Hard Time

Premiering Sunday November 20th on MSNBC:

The YIA cellblock is home to 53 kids who are rarely permitted to leave the unit, due to the dangers posed by the adult prisoners just outside their door. But once a youth offender turns 18, they begin the immediate transition into the general prison population, where thousands of adult prisoners await. The program will reair in January.

fucker deserves to in there for life, he fucking killed someone

[CalamariEducational]

@nategarga An understandable sentiment, but the fact is, he won't be locked up for life. Someday he'll get out & rejoining the community. Your kids' community, so the question is: are we doing what we can to keep tomorrow's community's safe? Or are we just passing off our problems to the next generation? It's short sighted to let your judgment be affected by the reasonable reaction to violent crime, & to the impact it has on victims & their families. Gotta keep our eye on the big picture.

I'm doing a paper on this. There have been kids sentenced to death because they killed a parent or someone who harmed them first. It does them no good. They get sent to prison like this and are likely sodomized and damaged even more and if they're like these kids, they get released as damaged adults who commit more crimes. They could be put in rehabilitation. Their brains are not developed and they likely don't have stimulation or care at home. In prison they don't learn, they stay the same.

How can we care about children in prison when the evil Zionist, Neo Cons are destroying the Alaskan king crab and his natural environment!!!

Having your adult life begin at 40 might just be worse than death.

@roxanna466 Antiquated paradigm of justice; horrible grammar.

[Bamseskutt]

@roxanna466 You are a sick human being.

[Bamseskutt]

@bonezillion GOOD, please get this message out. I was totally SHOCKED when I saw this, I was like, OK gotta be some Romania/Russian prison (no offence), but in... what USA? fucking humanitarian disgrace this. Jesus fucking christ, you should be ashamed, US, for letting these kids be in these conditions. They may have killed someone, but when a kid who is 11 does it, it is not THE SAME as if an 18 year old does it, it just isn't.

Damn I gotta look into this, it is sick.

[macklpenn]

Why do these kids have a TV in their room?

[cloudster1980]

that's fucked up there's always two side of the story a bet they didn't even try to listen to his side he didn't kill for no reason his fucking step dad most of done something bad to him or his mother have anybody though of that.we need to stop this shit everybody needs a second chance in life nobody is perfect.for real stop sending kids to prison we must speak out............STOP...........­.i bet if the judge get 30 years he will freak out too...

[colbour]

@nategarga really? your argument is that he is an adult then. should he be allowed to buy alcohol? to vote? How about if he was to have sex with an adult male. Is he mentally capable to make that decision or is it rape?

[krisj9999]
