Ok, that got a chuckle. ;-)

When I was participating in volunteer work last December for "Blue
Santa" (I do some volunteer work for the local PD), the convicts that
helped out with that were from the local teen rehab.

Those kids can be really cool with a bit of discipline!

One sad note that one of the officers in charge of them told me. There
was one boy that, every time he was up for release, he'd kick out some
stuff in his cell and extend his sentence.

When he asked him why he was doing that, the kid said he did not want to
go home...
