You do not put children in adult prison. It doesn’t have the facilities for counseling or education to help them.

You’re acting like they aren’t still minors and we should just give up on them because they’re violent instead of trying to rehabilitate them.

And also, we have no idea if these teenagers were put into jail for violent crimes. There’s nothing saying that in the article. You’ve just decided it out of nowhere and set up a straw man.

No I read other articles about it. Including one from last year when they were first moved out of juvvie.

Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, announced the decision to move the teens to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola on July 19 after a series of chaotic fights, injuries and breakouts from the Bridge City Center for Youth near New Orleans, including an alleged carjacking by an escaped teen during which a man was shot. Residents in the surrounding community say they’re living in fear and have called for the facility to be shut down.

These are extremely violent teens committing serious violent crimes. After already being in juvvie.

So again, what do you do with extremely violent criminals that break out of juvenile facilities and commit attempted murder and carjacking while they’re on the escape?

You move the violent ones to a facility that can handle violent criminals and keep the ones that want to rehabilitate in a normal juvenile facility.

Why do you keep responding to "So what DO we do?" by just repeating what we shouldn't do?

Sure you can make the assumption that what they did shouldn't have put them in prison, but the legal system did come to that assumption. And you have to either resolve the reason or resolve the solution, you can't just ignore both.
