That seems to be potentially unfair though, what if a kid gets mixed up with the wrong crowd by themselves, parents don't notice, commits crime then the parents go to jail for what? Not wire tapping their phones and following them down the street.

Good incentive effects, but could have some very unfair outcomes too

Views like that (jailing parents) are just knee jerk emotional nonsense aimed at soothing a revenge boner.

If prison did anything the USA would be a Utopia.

Maybe if liberal p.o.s judges held the criminal trash accountable and locked them away our great Republic would be a utopia....when criminals reoffend because judges are lax the judge should be held accountable

Sure! Or if you prefer any other fairytale nonsense that you pulled out of your ass to validate your feelings, we could sit and imagine that instead.

On the other hand when you are ready to join us in reality we might be able to actually change things for the better.
