Are you serious? Unless the person is a lifer they WILL be back on the streets someday. The prison system right now is like Criminal University. I think it's very important that we make sure that ex-cons leave prison with some sort of skill set and a plan for the management of their life and how to stay out of crime. I'd rather spend some money trying to keep these people out of trouble than turn a blind eye and wait for them to victimize someone else.
Another thing, a life sentence for a 12 year old is just plain asinine.
