  3. I learned not to take nude pictures of yourself because most of the time people that you dont want to get ahold of them will get ahold of them.

  4. I learned that anything you post online or send to someone is online forever and anyone can get access to the post. It made me think about being more careful about what I put online.

  5. I learned from Officer Andrews that they usually try to find different places for kids that get in trouble with the law other then Long Creek.

  6. One thing I learned from Officer Andrews was that not many people are sent to Long Creek. Only people who really need to go there are sent there. Also, I learned that at Long Creek they go to school and that there really isn't much to do so they do anything they can. Like knitting and croshaying.

  7. I learned that the city of South Portland doesn't have enough money to send every juvenile to long creek because it is too expensive.

  8. I learned from officer Andrews was that what you do varies from what you do to end up in Longcreek or probation. From destroying property to getting into a fight.

  12. Well I didn't learn anything from this because I already knew everything that we talked about. Like everything about Long Creek and Parole.

  13. I learned from officer Andrews to be very careful and cautious when using our laptops because once something is out there, it will forever be out there. Never take naked pictures of yourself, because it may seem like a good thing to do to send to your boyf for like a week, but then when you break up, not only will your ex still have that but possibly many other people as well.

  14. I learned that your juvenile history is not ignored in the files but in public it wont be used, but they still have it there.

  15. I learned from Officer Andrews that most of the people that go into Longcreek come out worse than when they came in. So the juvenile justice system isn't working very efficiently now but it is being improved.

  16. I learned from Officer Andrews that if someone does not have previous offenses on record, the punishment for their crime is not as harsh.The example being that, per say, someone broke a car window. If this was their first criminal act, the charge would probably be just to pay for repairs and participated in a certain number of community service hours. However, if they had done a number of things preceding this one, then the punishment would grow in severity.

  17. I learned that if you go to Longcreek you have nothing to do and that they used to have a chair that they strapped people to when they went crazy . I also learned that at anytime if you're having an issue with something or someone you can go to Officer Andrews and tell him.

  18. I learned that they try to keep the kids from getting incarcerated because there is still a chance to make them good.

  19. I learned that officers try their hardest to keep juveniles out of detention centers, because if they keep them locked up then they have a better chance of being a criminal when they are older.

  20. I learned that if you are on probation and you make an offense you will get in more trouble if you do not tell them you are on probation.

  21. I learned that when your charged as a juvenile once you are 18 they drop your records

  22. I learned that very few people are sent to Long Creek or other juvenile detention centers. It's used as a last resort for only kids who need it.
    I also learned that it's a school and there's not a lot to do there.

  23. I learned...
    That you can say "no" to a police officer when they ask to search your backpack. - Caleb Lewis

  24. I learned from Officer Andrews that even if your not 18 or older you still can be tried as an adult, but it depends on what you did or how many times you have been in trouble.

  26. I learned from Officer Andrews that they really don't like or want to send kids to Long Creek. They try everything they can but if nothing works then they have to send them there. But they feel it doesn't help the kids if you just send them there right away.

  27. I learned that there are differences from detention, and being committed. Officer Andrews described the difference of the two last class. Committed means they can be in juvenile center for months, or even years at a time. Detention is just a short stay, to learn their and be done, AND hopefully not come back.It's something I've never knew before.

  28. I learned that if kids 15-17 years old do something bad enough they can be tried as an adult.

  29. I learned that the last thing police want to do is incarcerate a juvenile. They want to teach them to be a good member of the society and sending them to jail almost guarantees that they'd be there again sometime in the future. I also learned that in Long Creek they learn to knit.

  30. When Officer Andrews was here I learned a lot that I didn't know about parole. I thought I knew a lot about it but he really gave me a bette understanding of that it was. I want to be a Parole Officer, and have for a while but I really didn't know as much as I thought I did about the job. I also learned about Longcreek, which I really didn't know existed. He really taught me a lot of valuable info, that I can use for future reference..

  31. I learned from Officer Andrews (we haven't seen Ms. Wood yet) that there are other options other than jail. Only people that need to go there are sent there, and because they're dangerous to others. There are other things like community service, paying back the money and more to do besides jail time. A lot of people who go to jail come back worse than when they went in.

  32. I learned that only a small percentage actually go to Longcreek. When a juvenile does something bad, they try counseling and probation first.
    I also learned that people that go to Longcreek are usually worse when they are released than when they first go. Going to Longcreek is the last resource.
