    The alternative sentence was juvenile detention. This is a mentorship program that hopefully can reform and help a few kids instead of just locking them up. It could easily include the disabled, give them a different goal.

      There should be no such thing as “juvenile detention” and instead of “mentorship” which includes massive time investment and often though not in this case free labor maybe do something about poverty, the lack of third spaces and on and on.
