What's the point


Today we begin our discussion of juvenile detention. In this context, what do you think is the point of juvenile prisons? Should it be to rehabilitate or punish? If it's to rehabilitate, what kind of services should juvenile detention centers provide to help kids?

  3. juvies are put into detention centers because either to rehabilitate them or keep them there to transfer them into adult jail depending there crime. putting someone into jail for life is to punish them because we are not able to put others to death anymore.

  6. i think the point of being charged with crimes and going to prison, they are sending a message that when you do wrong things you pay consequences for your actions...!
