Option C.

Explanation:

"The cost of prison in dollars and lives" has been written by Michael Jackson. It focuses on the idea and the fact that adults and children are different and not the same.

So as a result of this, the way used to handle adult criminals should not be used to handle juvenile offenders. This was of treating the juvenile offenders is not effective and they re offend and commit the crime again and at a faster rate.
