  1. Hold my pocket.
    HOLD. MY. POCKET. 😋

  2. Screw the little savages. Just execute them.

  3. No rehab in prison. That said, some people need a deterrent, but do not kid yourself or anyone else, there is no rehabilitation in our prisons and jails. I have personal professional experience in state prison – most of my fellow guards/turnkeys could hardly spell their names when writing reports. Additionally, it was not unusual for guards to set prisoners against each other, ostensibly for discipline. Lots of crap, that I would not want my child to experience goes on.

  4. The kids and their parents too would really send the message

  5. Fact: per capita, the US has more people in prison than ANY other country. (639 per 100k.!)

  6. That sounds "cruel and unusual" punishment. Mental health therapy would be better. 😘

  7. Oh God YES….Let them learn from the worst. Brilliant. NOT

  8. I think the ones that skip school should be put in prison until they are 18 also. Robbery should get 40 year hard time sentencing

  9. Criminal loves are the only ones upset by this🥱

    Prisons were created to punish criminals for their crimes not to rehabilitate criminals.

  10. Yep, the beeding hearts crying in humane. The kids already showed what your soft Hearts are failing at . Now is the time to send them to a stronger place. They have schooling in prison. Maybe the prisoners can get threw to them . Because you soft hearts are not. Do the crime do the time , they had their chance.

  11. This is not good.

  12. & this is supposed to help them, how? When you don't do anything for kids, you can't believe they shouldn't be incarcerated.

  13. Only in the South. Should have let them secede.

  14. These teens are toast already . Even when they get out the reward for criminal behavior is to good it comes in the form of dopamine and other chemicals released in the brain when they do something naughty or evil or both .

  15. They do Adult crimes send them to adult prison.

  16. Repent Matthew chapter 24 Bible prophecies fulfilling repent vain is the help of man repent

  17. Send them to GULAG or to North Korea. You'll see how fast they'll fix their a$$.

  18. Excellent. Work them. Maybe it will enlighten them.

  19. Also shame oN every body blaming the kids. GTFO.

  20. Barbaric. Inhumane.cruel.

  21. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine emprutt.ONLINE Brünette und eine andered Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  22. WAY OFF BASE ON THIS. Nobody gets rehabilitated in American prison's !

  23. This from the same people who claim others are pedophiles. Louisiana is serving them kids up on a platter.

  24. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthh.Online Brünette und eine andereg Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  25. The industrial prison complex needs more body's.

  26. This is a bad idea. No one has ever been rehabilitated at Angola. That is a criminal factory. You might as well keep them for life.
    Which I'm not advocating for.

  27. Any word on how America is going to address the failings of income distribution & fair distribution of quality basic education that just might reduce the need for the massive incarceration in America?

  28. If kids go to Angola prison never going to get released!

  29. WHAT? That will create a genuine gladiator farm. This is just evil.
