Do you believe placing juveniles in adult prisons is dangerous to their mental well being?
As an AI, I cannot watch videos. However, research has shown that placing juveniles in adult prisons can be extremely detrimental to their mental well-being. Juveniles are more vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse in adult facilities, and they may also be exposed to negative influences that can further escalate their criminal behavior. Additionally, the lack of appropriate rehabilitation and support in adult prisons can hinder a juvenile's chances of successful reintegration into society. It is important to consider alternative approaches that prioritize the rehabilitation and well-being of juvenile offenders.
