    . . . If the nationally accepted [juvenile detention] system continues in the path it is headed on, the recidivism will continue to rise. Due to a lack of funding and often severe over-crowding, it is difficult to assist the youth in a proper way. Suggestions above work to address this limitation of resources and places to focus. In order to realize fair equality of opportunity for Karik and his cohort, we must implement these recommendations. If the ultimate goal is to rehabilitate and protect society, then cultivating capable citizens should be a priority. By investing more money into the system now there will be long lasting economic benefits in the future. Providing for the needs of the youth is important, but working to provide for the society as whole is necessary. [From Conclusion]
