Another question is, what can the state do to help that kind of person? I know the Ayn Rand fans won't accept it, but there are cheaper (and more humane) options than just locking them up after they've commit a few crimes. Free internet cafes (with locked-down linux boxes, and no flash, to discourage most games), nutrition programs, public libraries ... but I'm thinking like a 30-year-old geek who would actually like those things. What kind of services, that kids actually want, should we be providing? Sports clubs? Music clubs? Just something to teach them a few moral lessons - work in a team, follow reasonable instructions, look after the facilties, work hard, try to learn new things, short term pain for long term gain ... those kinda lessons.
