Hurray for the justice system?

I read this and I'm simply appauled. I don't know how anyone could read this and think this is okay. Most of the people quoted here seem pretty proud of what they're doing, but frankly, they should be ashamed. The lengths these lawmakers went to, and apparently are still going to, in order to keep one guy in prison is sickening. They didn't just do what they could "within the law", but actually made up new law for this person. That's sick! Craig Price may well have been an unrepentant budding serial killer when he was first prosecuted, but he was also a teenager and instead of everyone shaking their heads at his impending release, they should have thought about what they could potentially do keep this guy from staying on his psychotic path. This article doesn't make it sound like anyone attempted treatment (and being assessed or tested by a shrink and getting treatment are very different things). They describe Price as a remorseless smart-mouthed kid from a good home. Well, I'd wanna know what the heck is wrong with him. I maintain that teenagers are different. They don't think like adults and shouldn't be treated like adults.

I tell you one minute the system (or a part of it) makes me proud, and the next it smacks me down.
