Here it is the public that clamors for trying children as adults despite the high suicide rate for children incarcerated with the regular prison population where they might as well show up with complimentary popsicles and cigarettes. I recommend Christian Parenti's book Lockdown America for anyone interested in what our (and what sounds like your) criminal justice system really looks like.
