Isabel, i agree with you. In our bill we have made a better environment. Kids can now go to a place that helps them become more educated and learn their lesson better than when they are in jail. Another good part is that it is still strict for big crimes but at the same time is better than just letting the kids stay in jail forever having really harsh crimes.

I think that our bill should say that kids should not have to go to a jail no matter how terrible their crime was, and have them go to a rehabilitation center where they can understand their mistake and become more educated about it instead of just sitting in a jail room with people twice their age and not understanding their mistakes. Also they are kids still so their brains have not fully developed, so by going to a place that will educate them they can get their brains to be more developed. And if they do it again maybe there should be a jail consequence but it would depend.

Isabel, i agree with you. I think that this law should not be different in each state. This will just make it unfair and make each case that is the same (like murder) very different.

There should also be a line between what is a big crime and what isn't. We should also state this in our bill.

Sounds great!
