    It’s the policy. It happened to me too as a kid. On one hand, it can prevent future criminals, giving kids a dose of reality. It’s obviously a bit excessive, but it’s not terrible either.

      Though it’s conventional “wisdom”, it hasn’t been proven that excessive punishment lowers recidivism.

      In fact, it’s been proven to cause trauma, which RAISES the risk of recidivism and acceleration from mischief to more serious trouble.

      it’s not terrible either.

      Wrong. It’s abusive and likely to traumatize that poor girl as well as poison her future relationships with all authority figures, including positive ones.

        Not to mention that anyone is more likely to learn how to be a better criminal in US prisons than be rehabilitated, regardless of age.

        Wrong. It’s abusive and likely to traumatize that poor girl as well as poison her future relationships with all authority figures, including positive ones.

        This is a shame, but all kids should be taught to question authority as well, even if they’ve only had positive experiences with authority.

      Yeah it used to be some people’s “policy” to own other people. Do you defend them?
