Instead of sending young people to prison, send them to do military service

Petition Details

We think the prison service is over crowded and it be better to send young people who offend to do some military service. Here they could learn essential life skills that they would not get to learn in prison.

Additional Information

We think that prisons are huge cost to tax payers, so why not send young people 21 and under to do military service instead? Here you could replace their sentence time with time in the military. We think it could dramatically change their outlook on life, increase their life skills, and prevent them from going to prison.
