I don't disagree with that, which is why I don't believe in sending them to prison with adults.
But I don't think the separation period should be any less than for adults. Or that we should assume that they didn't know what they were doing.
Actually, come to think of it, if any prisoner is ever going to be released from prison, I think that no matter what the age rehabilitation should be a major goal. And even if they're never going to be released, rehabilitation should *still* be a major goal.
So does that mean I go back to thinking that juveniles not be treated any differently, but that the entire system needs to be fixed?
