As far as humanitarian horrors, last week's news reported that in New
Jersey, kids charged with minor offenses are often placed in maximum
security juvenile prisons while being "processed". Many end up so
traumatized that they're unable to function normally in society. Onto the
bombing list with New Jersey.


That's called "scared straight". It works.

It's called anal rape and sodomy.

"Scared straight" is when you take convicts into schoolhouses, etc, and have
them describe the horrors of prison life to the kids. It has nothing to do with
throwing *accused* juvenile offenders in with convicted, sex-starved, deviant
felons.
