He will have to institute a form of draft. Something along the lines of "jail or basic training" for young offenders (say 16 to 21 years of age) who have been identified as offenders in his "school to prison charter system for poor people".

Note to the easily offended. I am a veteran, '68 to '72. I worship neither the armed services nor the individuals in those services.
