Prison system a costly and harmful failure: report - from Reuters

Quote
At current rates, one-third of all black males, one-sixth of Latino males, and one in 17 white males will go to prison during their lives.


Why should it be a shame to be in jail when it in some years properly should be regarded mandatory equal to attend school?

Some research are showing the cause for juvenile crime(Funny enough we did debate this issue some years ago in order to raise the age-limit for drivers licenses from 18 to 20, but it died out).

Experts link teen brains' immaturity, juvenile crime (USAtoday)

And even some states are starting to use common sense when they adjust the laws.
