Michigan is one of only five states that treat 17-year-olds as adults in the criminal justice system, which harms not only those young people being jailed but also local communities and the state economy #CJReform#mileg https://t.co/E8rKYYJQzN
Michigan doesn't allow 17-year-olds to drop out of school, serve on a jury, vote, live independently, rent a hotel. However, it requires 17-year-olds to be charged as adults if arrested for any offense. https://t.co/MBf8GW08zX @detroitnews @JessDKelley #CJReform#JJreform#mileg
