There are probably, in all honesty, a couple of answers to that, sir.
What you see—at least it's what my experience has been—when you have young adult males coming out of...it's a gladiator school. It truly is. When they're committed to the lifestyle, do they come out bigger, stronger, and smarter? They certainly do.
It's interesting. One of the other members spoke earlier about restorative justice. You can also say, arguably, that the first-time offender, the young person on the bubble.... Sometimes it has the adverse effect of the hard-core criminal; they come out and want nothing to do with it.
Going into the prison as a young member, even though you have more status over other inmates who aren't part of the gang, you're still at the bottom of that pecking order. And we won't get into the things that occur there.
In fairness and honesty, those would be the two biggest experiences that come out of that. Quite frankly, I'd rather see gangs do their recruiting in a prison than on a school ground.
