What would it take to put a juvenile in prison? Would they have to commit the same crime more than once or will it depend on the seriousness of the crime? What if this child had a mental disorder, then what? This article refers to why some children should or should not be put into a adult prison. In this article some people mentioned that they believe that some juveniles should be put into adult facilities because violent offenders "cope" better with other violent offenders. Others believe that they shouldn't because juvenile detetions and boot camps can be a rehab for this children if they have made a mistake or if these children face mental issues. This descision ca,e to thought when a 16 year-old was convicted of first-degree murder and was giving life in prison without parole. Some felt that he was to young to be engaged into a prison that young. Others felt that he commited the crime of adult and should face the time.
