Topic: Juvenile Jam / What about juveniles getting life without parole?

I posted earlier about death penalty, but the topic was life without parole. I don’t feel juveniles should be locked away for life unless the justice system has exhausted all hope for a juvenile to be able to get help. I would say it depends on the individual and the situation, but if we can deter juveniles from committing crime by teaching them than I feel we should first try to help the juvenile instead of locking them up for life. The juvenile is not getting any help being locked away in prison, but if we can some how treat the juvenile than maybe we can help them at a life that does not involve crime. I am a Criminal Justice student currently, so I am in the process of learning how the Criminal Justice System works.

I don’t think juveniles should be put to death because they are still young, and can still be taught. Their minds are not yet mature enough to make rational decisions. If we can deter them from crime without killing them I feel that is the best solution. We should try to help children not kill them because they committed a crime.
