true.  i'm not arguing that.  reread my comment.   i didn't single out incarcerated individuals who only committed "heinous" crimes.  it applies to all criminals.  some commit violent crimes, some don't.  the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of those in prison grew up in dysfunctional homes.  and their behavior is more than likely directly related to their upbringing, or lack thereof.  with having said that, we can sit here and point the finger at this and that; that's great, if it makes ya feel better.  but you'd be overlooking the primary cause of this kind of behavior.  yes, there are exceptions; mental illness, good kids gone bad, etc.  nevertheless, you can pretty much set your watch to the outcome of what happens when shit humans procreate.   all speculation on my part with this particular case.  but i'd wager that the people responsible for the kids involved aren't exactly pillars of the community.  just wait and see as this whole thing unfolds.
