De-Criminalizing Children

Every day children are sent to jail, not for heinous crimes.  Most are sent for non-violent crimes, and to adult prisons at that.  Can you imagine leaving your room, warm bed, computer, internet, games, books, comics, cartoons, parties, cellphones, and everything else you enjoy in life.  See in jail, you may have television but you have to watch it with over 50 other people who may not like to watch the things you like.  It’s real and happening every day.  To your friends, family, and can happen to you.  I would like to know your thoughts on this topic because children like you are the victims and the only ways we (adults) can help is by listening to you.  What do you need to keep you from getting caught up?  What do you see in your daily life that would help us know how to help you.  It’s time your true voice come out.
