There is one person I'm aware of and have had dealings with. He's 18 and since his 16th birthday has racked up over 60 convictions (The true figure when you include the plea bargains, dropped cases and ones he hasn't been charged with must be well over 100)
These aren't just petty stuff there are robbery, drugs supply, possession of knifes/offensive weapons, serious assaults, housebreakings and various other charges in there.

The amount of time he's had in prison? Two 1 month sentences.

He's spent more time in Police cells awaiting court than actually in prison. He'll never change, he's been through every type of course and rehabilitation you can get. The only solution is to put him behind bars for quite some time.
