In a cover story, Docuyanan and Males assert that “adult society (is) increasingly angry and punitive toward its youth” (1). They go on to say, later in the story, that "rehabilitation and community reintegration are already outdated concepts" and that "instead of prevention and rehabilitation programs, more prisons are built to welcome minors alongside adults. (1). These "opinions" can be supported by statistics collected in California between 1989 and 1994. During these years, seven new prisons were built at a cost of $1.3 billion, and between 1995 and 1996, four additional prisons opened their doors at a cost of $839 million (Docuyanan and Males 3). With all the money going towards punishing people, half could have been used to rehabilitate and integrate individuals into their contribution to society. The calculated costs exclude living expenses and anything else an inmate needs. The real problem is that society avoids and is afraid to give young offenders a real chance for change. Many people would agree with the statement that "only more police and more prisons will reduce juvenile delinquency." Instead of offering more money to fight poverty or prevent crime, they want more law enforcement – ​​at the cost of tens of billions of dollars.” (Docuyanan and males
