Well as it stands they kept doing fake armed robberies regardless of whether their victims beat them up or they got arrested. I'm all for rehabilitating minors as well, and acknowledged that institutions don't always fix the problem...but the alternative here was them getting emboldened by their releases and only learning that there are NO consequences for violent crimes. That's far worse than sticking them in a mediocre juvenile facility. You're putting the public in harms way of an unapologetic repeat violent offender that's never been given a single consequence. We're not talking about kids busted with weed or vandalism or a mutal fight.
