It's about time non-violent offenders esp the young ones are protected from violent offenders and that their jail time can be used constructively rather than just sitting there learning bad lessons from career criminals.
Our prison system is a disgrace as is our criminal justice system Time for a major overhaul starting with replacing all the for-profit ratholes with publicly funded and controlled facilities. Privatizing was a disastrous "solution".

I so agree. We have 18year-olds still in high school.
I am glad to see we are getting away from the "punish them until they learn....." We need to break the cycle.
An early criminal record just perpetuates the cycle.
