16. A 16 year old. When he was caught he claimed to be a runaway from another State. Truth is, he lived blocks away and his single parent mother allowed him to run around as he pleased. No discipline whatsoever. In fact, she was angry that he was caught. She was angry I held him “against his will”.
Two more years to go and then he will be dealing with the adult criminal justice system.Sounds like he could evolve into a lifer in the future.
