#семейное министр здравоохранения Трампа сказал, что малолетних преступников не спасти. Поэтому их надо держать в тюрьме до среднего возраста.
(от я: правда, этот министр-хуистр, че-та не заявил, чо потом делать с выросшим в тюрьме зверем среднего возраста %))

Эндрю ссылается на свой ответ еще 90х - что можно принимать сколько угодно жестокие законы, это не остановит преступность. Никогда не останавливало. Надо менять поведение людей. А мы выращиваем зверей, они не рождаются. Мы их выращиваем.

From today's paper

"Donald Trump’s health secretary, who defended the administration’s child separation policy as 'charity', once argued in a private paper that repeat juvenile offenders cannot be rehabilitated and ought to be jailed until they reach middle age. A 1991 legal memo written by Alex Azar, now secretary of health and human services (HHS), rejected the notion that a juvenile who committed a crime was a “salvageable human” who could be treated rather than punished."

From a 1982 Vachss speech to DOJ's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention:

The public desperately wants to believe that there's a pill or an injection that will stop crime. So these kids have been a bonanza for politicians. You can pass laws that will provide all kinds of Draconian consequences for kids who engage in this violent behavior on a daily basis, but you are doing nothing whatsoever to stop the behavior itself.
I have never seen one of these kids that hasn't been within our child protective and child–caring system for years and years before the juvenile justice profession is asked to "intervene." We have to create the beast. It cannot be born whole.
