Several years ago, one of the news feature shows on television had an interviewer talking with a freckle-faced, red-headed 12-year-old boy. The interviewer was taking place in a maximum-security prison yard(最安全的监狱).
When asked what he had done to warrant being in the prison, the youngster related how he had been spotted by local police as he drove a stolen car. After a high-speed chase, he crashed into an interstate highway roadblock. Several state and local law enforcement agencies and dozens of police cars were involved.
The interviewer asked if the child was sorry for what he had done because it had resulted in a sentence to an adult maximum-security prison. The boy responded that he would do it again because it was the "greatest day" of his life.
"It was just like Smokey and the Bandit(a popular chase film)!" the boy effused(吐露). Clearly, he continued after a period of months to be caught up in the childish excitement of his criminal act. A mature sorrow for his actions and the resulting punishment were absent. Children are immature by definition.
This practice of locking up young people with adult criminals harked back to(提到)the policies of 1700s, when offenders, regardless of age, were thrown together in poorhouses and workhouses. The results were predictable. The young people got worse as a result of exposure to the more-hardened criminals. It is hard to believe that, with the amount if scientific evidence we have generated over the last 100 years, political leaders still believe it is a good idea to lock misbehaving children up with adult criminals.
Today, there are thousands of young people living desperate lives locked away in adult prisons. Across the nation, the U.S. Department of Justice estimated there were about 5,500 juveniles being held in adult prisons in the late 1990s. There is little doubt that there is more than that now. Additionally, there are over 9,000 youths being held in the nation’s adult jails.
What can we learn from the passage?
选项
A、The 12-year-old boy felt sorry for his wrongdoing.
B、The 12-year-old boy would realize his wrongdoing if he was not held in adult jail.
C、The 12-year-old boy enjoyed a nice feeling of committing a wrongdoing.
