Solitary is aberrant mental torture for any age group, especially kids. The whole "charge them as adults" fiasco is also just wrong. If you can charge anyone as an adult, we have a crazed, revenge system. We also know that people up to age 25 do not have their full-brain-power yet. And, the idea of rehab for those convicted is laughable. What rehab? In the South they give felonies to blacks so they can never vote again. And their rehab? It's still working on chain gangs.
