People's lives crash when they're locked away.

Not when they are young people who have never hit a boundary or faced the consequences of their actions their whole lives so far. Then getting locked up is often just what they need to face reality and turn their lives around.

It reminds me of a particular black slave owner ...

That has no relevance to this. Just snide racism, like comparing Israel to Nazis with no real comparison.

Israel and Germany aren't comparable.

In this case, both are black on black injustice.
Both are extreme examples relative to the norm.

It's relevant.

there's no rehabilitating them, they're too retarded, we just need to lock them up so they're off the streets
