Trust me when I say when young offenders get a secure custody diposition, other than severity of the crime for first time offenders (e.g. murder), it takes a lot before they finally see the inside of a facility. And I'm telling you, if the public, other than what they've already read in the papers, only knew the true extent of the coddling that goes on in here, you would guys would be screaming in outrage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385137.post-73758986300754881722011-05-16T18:27:16.161-04:002011-05-16T18:27:16.161-04:00I think that it's very dangerous to punish you...I think that it's very dangerous to punish youth criminals to the point that they have permanent records. Where do you think many of these will end up if they can't find work? On the public dole, which means you and I will have to pay for these miscreants.<br /><br />A three-strike law should be in force so that once-only offenders can have that 2nd and 3rd chance to get going.<br /><br />I'm speaking from experience, I should add. I can't imagine where I'd be today if I had a permanent record for one stupid mistake I made so long ago.Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889559954131957746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385137.post-944806350210521802011-05-16T17:07:12.290-04:002011-05-16T17:07:12.290-04:00What about restitution?What about restitution?BallBounceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776039024486455199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385137.post-32378726606975245412011-05-16T16:57:47.272-04:002011-05-16T16:57:47.272-04:00I think a person up on a first offense should be p...I think a person up on a first offense should be punished as it is probably the first time he/she was caught. 6 months in jail should do the trick. We also have to remove the part of the yoa that disallows a name to be published. <br />In fact get rid of the young offender act. Most young offenders who get off turn out to be old offenders.

It's cost effective and sends a strong message to criminals. Of course, critics would slam the idea for being inhumane -- but these are criminals we're talking about; those who have hurt others or have damaged property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
