I have a 'grandson' who is doing time in a CA state prison at the age of 18. He foolishly thought that since he was on probation from juvenile court, any transgressions would be referred back to juvenile court. Surprise, surprise, his next three burglaries landed him in county jail and eventually in prison. He was rather stunned.I've had to work with many youngsters like that. They carry on with the "thug culture" bit as youths, and the day after they turn 18, they do the same thing - only now, instead of being let off with a juvenile slap on the wrist, they're adults, and they find themselves doing hard time. When they're in the pen with 1,500 other hard-core nasties, they find out really, really fast that they're not nearly as tough as they thought they were . . . but by then, it's too late.
