Education is the best part of life. Education can evolve you into a better person. Education can prevent you from committing crimes and will lead you to a prosperous life. Proposition 21; The Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime Prevention Act aims to incarcerate disturbed youth rather then educate them.

Minority men are a problem to society. No wonder the majority of imprisoned males are minorities. Racial profiling is the cause of this, and it is a big problem in our society.

Proposition 21 is aims to put minorities, and teen males in adult prisons. No one under the age of fourteen attend adult prisons, especially if the crime was an accident. The Gang Violence And Youth Crime Prevention Act is a desperate attempt
