J'nai Porter started a petition asking that at the discretion of a judge a 17-year-old can be treated as a juvenile and not an adult in the Michigan court system. She says that it is time to be more progressive in our thinking and evidences show that prosecuting youth offenders in adult courts has been proven ineffective at preventing crime and improving public safety. The right rehabilitation is needed so that young offenders can move on to be productive members of our society. 39 states consider 17-year-olds as juvenile. @jmassage313 #detroitlove #detroit #ricksnyder #jayrucampbell #casstech #youth
