Whether it's for youths or in prison.
I mean, there's no question it has to be part of a criminal justice system.
But it's not a question if you do wrong, prison is the only answer.
Prison is an answer for the most serious crimes.

Mental health issue.
So we use it as a as a dumping ground, that's the way it has been used.
Rather than people calling for more and more prison spaces, we need to have a criminal justice system that operates in a way that maximizes the benefit, but in terms of some attempt to rehabilitation of people in prison and to find alternatives for those who don't have to go in there.

That's not true to say there's not a
dark air.
