the answer below is categorically false
Children NEVER go to prison in the UK
On the other hand the USA executes minors and no other developed western country even has the death penalty

It's the other way around, I think.
In the UK, children will go to jail even at the age of 10 if they are guilty of a crime.
In the US - that doesn't happen.

I would venture to say that there are probably more inmates in Ca prisons alone than in all of the UK. As far as the harshness goes, I don't really know that one but I would say in my opinion that we are not harsh enough.

The USA is totally lax on their sentencing.
Not sure of the UK.
