3. I don't know if people know this, but the juvenile deliquency system guarantees inequality.

For example, the family's financial resources weighs in heavily in a judge's rendering. This paragraph illustrates that bias:

During sentencing, Boyd said he might not get the kind of intensive therapy in a state-run program that he could receive at the California facility."

So we shouldn't be surprised to find wealthy kids getting indoctrinated early into a way of life that teaches them how to skirt the rules that the rest of us have to abide by.
