Assignment:
Question 1. Do you think we should close juvenile prisons? If so, what alternatives would you recommend?
Question 2. Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court decision that juveniles 17 or under should not be sentenced to life?
Question 3. Juveniles constitute 1,200 of the 1.5 million people housed in federal and state prisons in this country, and nearly 200,000 youth enter the adult criminal-justice system each year, most for non-violent crimes, do you agree this is an effective practice in reducing juvenile crime and rehabilitating them?
