I think kids are worth a shot at rehabilitation. Throwing them into the adult system only creates more chaos and doesn't do any good, but like I said multiple times I think the juvenile system also needs to be fixed so that kids have to do more time in the system for more serious crimes. There are no easy answers, because either way you are going to be mixing adults with minors and that isn't a good thing because they are just not the same. When it comes to a particularly heinous crime, I really don't know what else to do other than holding them for life. Maybe they get transferred over to the adult system somehow, but this I can see having unintended consequences too.
While I don't think they can be rehabilitated, I don't think they should be thrown into the general prison population either. I think they should reside on death row until such time as they are executed. And just so they enjoy their last moments, maybe they could all be executed at the same time so they can see their friends die since watching someone die is apparently fun in their world.
