Becky is a 17 years old and has always been trouble. She disobeys her parents, skips school, and seems to have some anger toward authority figures. She also has some developmental delays that she was born with and although she is 17, she acts as if she is 12. She is standing in front of Judge Brown for the first time and is being charged with shoplifting. The judge has a lot of options for punishment because Becky lives in a state where 17 is the legal age to be considered an adult. The judge would like Becky to learn discipline and to understand the seriousness of her actions. Of the many punishments, what will most likely accomplish the judge's goal?

Answer: Prison Camp

Explanation:
