Why should they change?! They KNOW they will get a slap on the wrist & be back out on the streets making money (robbing,stealing,home invasions,etc.) in no time at all. A prison sentence is just 'street cred' for these wastes of space. You can't rehabilitate that which does not WANT to change. It's a family affair with most.

And then maybe you could rollout Jesse Jackson to Shake down local businesses. You are first going to have to remove these kids from their parent to break the cycle of ignorance.
