Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Threads [merged]

my nephew (16) was in juvie for threatning another kid online playing video games. (two other kids invloved, but the other two never did jail time because their parents could afford lawyers and they only got probation) he ended up serving 18 months. every six months he was "evaluated" by the judge. he was an exemplary inmate, a trustee, was moved to a special wing for kids who fit that. they kept extending him and enrolling him in programs. Finally, a different judge told the DA that they had 60 days to release him. I have ZERO doubt that they were making money by enrolling kids in these programs that they knew the good kids would complete... I am so pizzed about that. he has been out 1 month now, he just enrolled in Southeastern University. the only good thing that came from that he got a full grant. But i'm sure my sister would have rathered have him home and he get Tops and other aid...
