The sentences of 18-24 months seem entirely reasonable for the crimes committed too. At least compared to some other horror stories you hear about sentencing for computer crimes. These kids definitely have a chance to put all of this behind them and be productive members of society.

Of course with the american prison system being the way it is, the chances of these children coming out in any way better prepared to contribute to society than before they were imprisoned are very slim.

I wasn’t commenting on the activity or punishment, more just the generally similar circumstances and outcomes.

I personally doubt whether one wants to be a productive member of a society that put one into jail.
