Should juvenile courts/juvenile prisons be abolished?

I say yes!

Prison is a horrible place so why should we lock up children like animals?

We should also raise the age of criminal responsibility to 21; Instead of locking children up we should be helping them and giving them guidance.

Is is about time we got rid of this outdated, barbaric cruelty of juvenile prisons?
 
Not unless we start sending them to regular prison! By the age of 7 you know the difference between right and wrong!
 
Anyone who knows what they did is wrong, and is found guilty in a court of law, is liable to punishment as deemed fit by a judge or jury of their peers. The reason we send people to prison is so that they think about what they have done and hopefully they will learn their lesson the first time (but not always the case).

It is up to parents to responsibly raise their children but ultimately people make a choice about what they want to do with their life.

But a quick question for you: Have you personally been to prison, or have you just watched it on TV? Because if the later is the case then I believe you may need to watch some documentaries on what exactly goes on there.
