Several things should be considered. (1) Severity of the Crime
(2) Probability of Habilitation & Continued Danger to Society (3) Mental/Physical Health & Capacity are just a few. Children develop physically, emotionally, and socially at different rates. Placing a minimum age limits on criminal incarceration is difficult and should be judged on a case by case basis.

Depends on the crime. In England about 10 years ago, two 10 year olds were sent to an adult prison for life because they viciously and brutally murdered a 2 yr old in an unspeakably violent manner. Fair sentence, in my opinion.

Any age really......but all depends. I wouldn't put a 12 year old in a an adult prison. But, maybe a few nights away from home in a jail cell will "snap" them into reality? Scared straight! Too many of today's courts are to lenient on young criminals.

It depends on the crime. If they're juvenile, they can be under 12 and go to juvenile hall until they're 18. If they're over 18, they can go to jail or prison. If it's a misdemeanor, a short jail term. If felony, for a couple of years.

It should based on the severity of the crime and at the point and time it is recognize that they are using their juvenile status to their advantage. If they are that smart then they are smart enough to do some time. I don't think juvenile offenders should be housed with adults unless their size and aggression make them a danger to other juvenile offenders.
