Gang and Youth Intervention for Parents with Troubled Youth Proposal Parents added right to use the tax payer system to deter juvenile criminal activity at a massive level. This is a suggestion after coming back from North Carolina that I thought I should run pass you. It is a proposal to give parents more power in intervening with troubled youth that they recognize to be involved in gang activity or activities unbecoming of a law abiding citizen. It is to be implimented once or twice a year program where troubled youth are voluntarily incarcerated at the request of their parents for a weekend. The goal would be to place them in adult jails for the weekend with a Sunday morning release. Keys to making this work Move inmates into another block of the jail Keep former inmates that have shown positive community interaction to be incarcerated with them for those two days. It is to mentor them to the reality of jail and the consequences that can come with breaking the law. Also it will show the affects of trying to get employment after coming out of jail. Have a arraignment on Saturday morning giving troubled youth fake real charges as a judge or commonwealth attorney play the part of actual judges. During the arraignment the judge show youth at similiar ages and crimes commited and time that they are serving for such offenses. Also include youth tried as adults to agree to be video tape of their experiences before and after being put in jail or prison at similiar ages of other youth. If a youth becomes a problem while in jail under the progam than place them in real solidatary confinement to last no more than 6 to 8 hours. Have the youth actually processed in holding cells and given the same treatment. Most youth after a day or even adults do not want to go back to jail. At that age their are more designed to figure out ways to leave. It is ashame they end up doing something so serious that they cant just leave. Put them through real bond hearings with court magistrates. The message of being denied bond also will give real life affect of not going home. Have the sheriff department pay deputies looking for overtime to serve a arrest warrant signed by a judge and the parent on the particular youth at the address. It is the same sympathy shared by a deputy and a inmate. They are to eat the same food that people in jail would eat. The parents would be responsible for paying the fee which is one dollar a day for their commitment in the program. Also having visitation hours for parents that are the same length for any other inmate behind the glass. This way parents can see the real affect on the youth and on the home because of their consequences. Real situations can bring real results. Most of the youth that commit serious crimes are being tried as adults. The best way is to stop them and give intervention before they have a criminal record which can affect them for a life time. Also this method could be used for principals in the public school system that express concern of a youth on the verge of expulsion by placing them in adult jail for seven days to live real life situations with real results. During that time they can see actual court cases that have real results for serious offenses. It is a idea, but I think parents that have troubled youth will be overwhelmingly supportive of having this as a extra tool to prevent possible criminal activity. I believe more youths will be saying my parent can send me to jail as a way of deterring other troubled youth into a life of crime. Let the youth spread the message and allow the parents to have this voluntary tool. Parents are responsible for their children, but not every parent has the same privilege of having help when it is much needed in advance. If we get them while they are doing petty crimes it can be a big deterrant on more serious crime. The day a parent can tell a youth I can send you to jail or you can do your homework would be a instrumental crime preventing method that will overwhelmingly show results. I believe if you hire a gang coordinator than they should bring fresh new ideas to the table. The money funded for the programs could be used to introduce methods to help the parent and the youth. I'm sure the sheriff department and other police departments would jump on board of having a extra option other than trying to handle things through a judiciary where the charges actually stick. I believe if we start designing methods for the parents than it will show that the U.S and just not a city or state understands and is willing to allow things to be handle in house and not on the streets. The major thing is to stop the excuses and accept responsibility for the parent and the youth. This way people are more satisfied that they tried instead of do nothing at all. How many juveniles need 20 to 40 years sentences instead of just giving them 3 days to 7 days without a record. After the time frame it is the parents responsibility to take on that assistance and apply goals for the youth to honor and respect. The end is hopefully one more graduate instead of one more inmate. The tax payers are already paying for the Department of Corrections. Why do they have to wait for a judge instead of invest in changing one at a time from going into that same system. Its not meant to stop every juvenile with problems. The fact is the justice system will never be 100 percent flawless even though it intends to be. I think such rights and priviledges should be afforded to the tax payers that are paying for the same system. The system will also help single out kids that might be going astray with the help from parents. It will also give out solid statistics for targeting the problem with more creative ideas to a population that is in the direction of prison instead of jobs or colleges. Take the gang leaders influence by injecting positive influences to override their recruitment.
