49. No, it does not work. Why do you think 'a few days in jail' is the way to 'scare'

young people? And when they come out after seeing the horror of our prison system, where do they go? To a job, a college, to a good home where they will get support? How many wealthy children get a 'few days in jail' when they act up? If you've ever visited one of our jails, you will see no wealthy children there, all you see are poor, uneducated children, serving time with adult criminals, being abused, yelled at, strip searched, removing all their dignity and self respect.

I would never send a child to an American prison, it is child abuse and does the exact opposite most of the time, of what you think it does.

Would you send your own child into one of those hell holes to teach them a lesson? American prisons are among the worst in the civilized world.
