    Because it increases the likelihood they’ll be incarcerated again later in life, increasing prison profits.

      Mm… that makes sense.

      I knew there had to be something there, and specifically related to the prison-for-profit system and the kickbacks they pay judges, but I couldn’t figure out an angle that made it especially advantageous to imprison kids.

      And yeah - that does fit.
