I don't have a problem putting borderline kids through programs that can instill discipline and teamwork and hopefully keep them out of prison

Unfortunately, these programs don't do that. They instill displine to listen to the gangleader, teamwork to work with the gang, and the self-confidence to try anything they want.

It's kinda like DARE, which does little to curb drug use, and instead becomes a drug show-and-tell and how-to class.

LOL! You'll excuse me if I disagree?
