When they say "prison" what does that mean in the case of a minor? Do they even have prisons for minors?
Anyways, I can't see him ever being convicted of this...but I hope the ACLU or somebody will help him get decent legal representation...this could go pretty high on appeal eventually.
- soared 8y ago> Do they even have prisons for minors? Juvenile Detention ('juvie') looks pretty unpleasant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_detention_center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_detention_center
- alphabettsy 8y agoYes, they have prison for minors. Quick search shows over 70k in juvenile detention at last count. Juvenile detention is just prison for kids, looks no different than adult prison to me.
- XalvinX 8y agoThere are prisons and there are jails and detention centers. I've been to jail more than once and jail is essentially 3-square-meals-a-day with library and exercise yard access and otherwise a softcore joke that just wastes your time. Prison means you could easily die, get raped, get beat up regularly, and has little in the way of fun and games. They are very different situations, at least that's what I was told by some of the people I met in jail who had been to actual prison. I seriously doubt they put kids in places similar to adult prison. If they do, the USA is just another shithole 3rd world country.............
