People individualize crime so much. A child committing a heinous crime isn’t as much an indictment of the child’s character as it is an indictment of the conditions of this society.

if kids are ending up in jail thats a failure of the adults around them. jailing them instead of even attempting to rehabilitate them is another one of the failures

I really want to hear/learn more! Any good sources for prison abolition I can look into?

reform should be our first option, especially for children, not jail

Nothing exposes fake leftists faster than the idea of minor rights and prison abolishment

Yes. And who gets to be considered a “kid” socially. Like a 15 year old Black boy vs. a 21 year old white man.

Prison is so normalized in the “Most Freedomest Country” that people here argue for locking up children 😂

everyone’s woke until i say “children shouldn’t spend their lives in prison” and then it’s “well what if they invented every heinous crime ever”

Even if you are against reformation in adults, Children are legit not done changing at a biological level. Children being reformed and not jailed is the logical conclusion especially for lesser crimes.

Kalief Browder. Everyone should google “three years in Riker’s Island without a trial” and read it. It was in the New Yorker a decade ago and it lays out everything wrong with the carceral system

it kills me a little inside every time the comments section on a news video cheers for a child being tried as an adult

All Jails and Prisons should be (and actually are supposed to be) Rehabilitation not Punishment and Slavery.. I dont know why this has become such a controversial discussion.. It's just common sense but the United Corporations of America got so many of yall brainwashed.

the way people were foaming at the mouth to send a h.s. student to jail for stealing his teacher's funko pop was so alarming. They even encouraged having police called on the whole class because the student didn't come forward right away 💔

Holes did such a good job of representing the mindset behind the juvenile incarceration system. While camp green lake isn’t technically a real prison, there’s still the idea of turning “bad boys into good boys” and molding them into loyal drones while also exploiting them for a more sinister agenda

putting a kid in prison just seems like a great way of giving a troubled kid a ton of new criminal connections

I already hate the idea of prison for many adults, but setting a child up for a lifetime of being a "criminal" ??? idk how people defend it

is Justice not supposed to be restorative, towards a goal of reconciliation, not simply a punitive arbitrary action?

I'm Canadian and work with kids who commit crimes. The idea of ANY of them going to jail is so tragic to me, like its a reality here in Canada too but thankfully where I live most of the kids I work with get diversion (they have to volunteer hours and apologize and right the wrong of what they did)
