She's 15. In 9 years she'll be 24, she has her whole life in front of her to make better decisions but she earned that 10 year sentence.
Multiple armed robberies, prostitution, c'mon bruh. We not talking about truancy or some stupid juvenile crimes. Her and those dudes are predators, they lured people into those robberies.
Getting pregnant is something that happens accidentally. Im sure she didn't do that on purpose but they planned those robberies. If she can plan a robbery she can go to prison for it.
She'll be fine. Its the best thing for her in the long run. Take her out of that shitty environment where she was robbing people, hooking and getting pregnant and put her somewhere where she can get help.
she'll be fine?
she'll be fine after 9 years in prison surrounded by older, hardened criminals, and away from her children?
while there are the exceptions, american prisons have only been good for exploiting and housing society's undesirables
there is not nearly enough funding there to actually rehabilitate people
then whenever she gets out, there will be very few job opportunities for her, she cannot vote, will not qualify for certain government programs/grants, etc
she certainly deserved to be punished for her actions, but the sentence does not fit the crime, and chances are it will not serve to rehabilitate the girl
