We have too many young people in prison for non-violent crimes. Many times the sentencing guidelines are disproportionate and the prosecutions selective. Once you make a youngster a felon for life you condemn him to live in a second class world. No voting, no jobs, ineligibility for education. These minor criminals have little options than to try to survive as "criminals". Lets not forget that prisons are a business.
