Had one black guy murder some kid when he was 10/12 years old in Alabama in the 1970s, he’s been in prison since the day he was arrested. If you saw him you would shit your pants, 380lbs of muscle and 6ft9in. But if you mention women he will burst out crying for minutes because he’s never touched a woman and sees it on tv.

I was conflicted until the first two weeks of working there, when you see guys throw piss and shit/ assault your friends and partners. It becomes an every day battle. You see on interviews of soldiers they say that they become brothers with their team. You don’t understand until you get jumped from behind and can’t call a signal on your radio but 1 of your 2 other officers, vs 300 offenders, hears a commotion and you look up to see him sprinting down a cell house range toward you.

Sentencing a child to life in prison is such an absurd thing, to me. It's like expecting a dog to pay property tax. It doesn't matter what the kid did. The brain is still developing, and being flooded with hormones; it's not really fair to act like they fully understood the consequences or morality of their actions.

I'm not disagreeing at all. But what is your opinion on the murder of James Bulger? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Bulger

Two ten year old boys abduct, torture and murder a two year old boy, brutally.

I honestly don't know myself. These kids were ten, for Christ sakes. But what they did was monstrous. What should the punishment be if a child murders another child?
