 Do you think we should close juvenile prisons? If so, what alternatives would you recommend?

• Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court decision that juveniles 17 or under should not be sentenced to life?
• 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?
