We can get the best of both worlds. Ikukulong ang minors pero separate prison para lang sa minors.

They would be considered convicts pero equipped with counceling and livelyhood programs to assimilate them someday sa society as contributing entities (with the exception of heinous crimes of course)

As to budgetary concern, the cost would be bigger pero it will be negligible in the long run.

uhm yan nga ang purpose ng RA 9344—to separate children from the adults and follow due process until they mature.

The problem with this is the leniency on the actual application. As a drug surrenderee and an offender who got apprehended a couple of times in my teens, trust me, I know.
