"The wounds experienced by youth in adult prisons don’t only harm them, they potentially hurt the rest of us as well. Physical and sexual abuse of adolescents in adult prisons and jails is significantly higher than in juvenile facilities and life expectancy is lower, meaning that adult imprisonment literally kills kids. Not surprisingly, research summarized by the Centers for Disease Control found that “the adult criminal justice system typically increases rather than decreases rates of violence” among youth tried as adults."
