'Jail Time For Muffin Prank'

PRISON WOULD ONLY TURN THESE TWO INTO OUTCASTS

What these boys did was wrong, but how many of us did stupid things 
at their age and didn't get caught? Most of us grew up without 
surveillance cameras watching our every move.

I do not believe their offenses should be heightened to second-degree 
felonies. Society would not benefit from incarcerating them and 
really turning them into criminals.

They have accepted responsibility and should not get off scot-free. 
The many hours of community service ahead and privileges they've 
already lost should guarantee they would be better citizens. Don't 
make them outcasts.
