Opinion: Why I won’t let my son get arrested – CNN.com.

” I have a bright, funny 12-year-old son. He plays a mean game of basketball, loves strawberry banana smoothies and spends way too much time texting on his iPhone. And, if you believe a new study just released, there’s a 50-50 chance he’ll end up in handcuffs sometime before he turns 23.”

Society literally pays the price here. Twice.

Once when tax-payers pay to arrest, prosecute and imprison these young men and a second time when the pool of tax-payers shrinks because so many are kept out by the caste, errrr, justice system.
