In the text, the authors discuss how the justice system has focused on punishing offenders. Do you think it's

fair for teenagers and children to be punished for an extended period of time for something they did when
they were younger? How do you think being incarcerated affects young people compared to how it affects
adults?

Answer:

Depending on the crime unless it’s something huge like murder I think you should try to give them a good support system while also punishing. Show them what’s right and wrong. But it shouldn’t ruin the rest of their lives. How I thing Being incarcerated fails young people is they arlready think their life is over. Young offenders in school are taught that going to prison/jail could ruin your lives.
