Non fiction post # 2

The article "Crime and Puishment" by Patricia Smith is about a girl that is 15 years old, she gets drunk and is depressed about her Ex boyfriend leaving her. After all the drinks, she got a hold of a gun and got into a cab and shot the drivier in the head. She is 15 serving life without parole. Which means she gonna be in jail for ever and there is no way she will ever be released. The author wants me to feel that kids that commit crimes at that age doing crime like the should do life sentences without parole. The author wants me to feel that Kids doing crime at their young teenage years should serve life sentences. Teenagers if they commit grown People Crime they should get the adult punishment. These teens get offered rehab or mental places because they are often either crazy or high of some drug or depression. But I feel that these teens should serve the crime as an adult because this is a very serious situation so what ever punishment is needed they should get, If they comit crimes to this extreme like this young lady. I feel that teenagers should serve there teenage years in a juvenile correction facility until age 21, because the age group in state prison or federal prison is very different. Not everyone is the same age so letting the teenagers become grown adults first then sending them of the state prison is the right thing to do I believe, because they still reciveing some sort of punishment, it's not like they sit back and relaxed and have fun. Then after 21 send them of to real jail and let them serve the rest of their sentence there.
