Blog Stage 8

To Kelly Jura-Myrick's point, I completely agree with your opinions stated in your Certified or Rehabilitated post. Some children are a product of their environment and you cannot decide right then that this offender will continue to commit crimes of any sort. If you give someone a chance to better themselves and they still choose to make wrong choices then obviously you have proven what path that person has decided to take. We need to take more measures to provide that opportunity for those that need it most. Give them knowledge, give them a platform that they can believe in themselves and not back them into a corner with a finger pointed at their back the rest of their life. I appreciated the facts provided within this blog entry, I currently have a younger sibling in juvenile detention facility and I personally was unaware of the probability that she would come out a better person. I am concerned that she will only spiral down and be stuck in a place she cannot free herself from. Given the facts though, maybe she will be able to see the light and make better choices in her life. One can only hope the best.
