bighairymike: Would you agree that getting locked up a few times while you are in your formative years and committing relatively less violent crimes, might steer you away from a life of more serious crimes.

Just the opposite.

The highest juvenile recidivism rates were 76% within three years and 84% within five years. A study by Joseph Doyle, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology, found that 40% of juvenile offenders ended up in adult prison for crimes committed by the time they reached the age of 25. The study involved data from 30,000 juvenile offenders in Illinois.

Incarceration also retailed the juveniles' education. Doyle told Boston Magazine that he was surprised by "the size of the effects. We found that when kids went into juvenile detention, they were very unlikely to return to high school at all. Basically, none of them are graduating high school."
