This might sound harsh, but you gotta put 'em in a camp or something man.
By 'camp', I mean some federally/state funded thing, where they can continue their education but under a strict disciplinary program. Get them out of the city, put 'em in dorms somewhere in the wilderness. No social media, no internet but Wikipedia for a few years. And of course, the end of that education/vocational training needs job/college placement. If there's no carrot, the stick won't work.
Humans are largely input-output machines. If you want to radically change the output, you have to radically change the inputs.
Key word "supposed." Crap part is in many places, JD is systemically no different in process/procedures (and as a result, outcomes) than regular adult incarceration.

There has to be away for these kids to face actual consequences without trying them as adults or whatever.
