Summary

Juveniles who become involved in the juvenile justice system is more likely to be involved again as a adult because the juvenile system is created to punish kids who committed a serious crime not a child who misbehaved or talks back to the teacher. Many juveniles systems are looked as a jungle so throwing a child in there just to teach them a lesson will only result in the child growing up to become a criminal. They say you are a product of your environment so imagine putting a 8 year old boy who only talk back to the teacher into a system where you have to fight for your life everyday. A system where you are not taught right from wrong, a corrupted system, the child will only become a product of its environment. I believe creating a school not a prison for kids who misbehave or need closer attention can work. A school that has more teachers with more patience and can teach these kids because every kid deserve a education no matter their race. It is sad to say the system has gave up on our black and brown children and it is unfair to see they rather throw us in prison that give us the proper education we all deserve.
