    Default Sun article on scrapping youth jail

    In the Suns article it says 50 youths a day are charged as adults for crimes like murder, car jacking, robbery etc

    Is this number correct? I don't think it could be that high, that's an insane amount of violent people if they're catching 50 a day

    While the wording is confusing, it doesn't say that number is charged daily. It says there are some 50 juveniles charged as adults who are living daily with adult offenders.
