When a juvenile enters the criminal justice system, there will be long term effects on the juvenile. The chances of finding alternatives to incarceration become unsuccessful. The goal to rehabilitate is no longer and the juvenile will be forgotten, lost in the system. Juvenile facilities are ran similar to adult facilities. The use solitary confinement and other restraints.
Instead of referring Adam to the criminal justice system, my recommendation for him is to enter the Juvenile Drug Court Program for 18 months. Considering all that Adam has been through, drug use, drug dealing, shoplifting and critically wounding another person, I believe that Adam’s drug use should be addressed first. There will be access to alcohol and drug treatment services. There’s also a work plan put into place to address operational needs, individual and family counseling, mental health screenings and educational counseling.

Although there is also no evidence that shows that incarceration will create a law-abiding citizen in the long term (Cox, 2018). When a juvenile enters the criminal justice system it makes it ten times harder for the juvenile to lead a good life. It lowers the chances of a child completing high school, let alone going to college to make a better life for themselves. I believe that the juvenile in the week five study could use some real punishment time. When he was younger and started these criminal acts, they were minor, and the criminal justice system sentenced him to different types of rehabilitations. None of these changed anything therefore a more tough sentence needs to happen.
