Over all statement for
Chapter 1
● It was also common for young man within the 1800s to walk
around and roam the wild west with guns strapped to their
hips looking for trouble.
● Within the 1800s in London most of the male prisoners 3000
to be exact were under the age of 21. The juvenile
delinquents ranged from as young as 6 to 17 according to a
commentator at the time.
● These examples that were listed in chapter 2 help describe
the cycle of juvenile justice and how early it had begun.
Young Male Criminality
Conditions at
adults.
● New Beginning engages the young
“New people, has small classrooms, and
Beginnings”
every child must go to school five days
a week.
● Poverty and violence were huge problems that affected the youth who
were going to Oak Hill.
● The conditions of confinement were horrible. Oak Hill was a dirty, dark
and smelly place as they described in the documentary.
● Young men has always been a problem in the juvenile justice system.
Oak Hill Juvenile Justice Center did not help youths at all. When
youths got out of the Oak Hill Juvenile Justice Center they weren’t
back out into the streets and continued to do the same thing and end
up right back there. The center was not helping them, they were just
treating them like real inmates.
● Officials and Juvenile Justice officials wanted to improve conditions for
youths assigned to the Oak Hill Youth Center because youth are the
face of the future. The system was very corrupted and needed a
change.
Reform (after reform conditions)
● Juvenile justice officials feel like its hard to break the cycle
of harsh to lenient punishments. When the juvenile is
being punished harshly, they feel as though they are
making them worse and when they are being more lenient
towards them, they feel like crime is still being done.
● Both the article and the documentary mention. “When a
juvenile is adjudicated for a crime, the punishment is not
as severe as when an adult is convicted for the same
crime.” Do nothing or be harsh; it’s a forced choice.
