Kids as adults

At The Legacy Museum, there were letters of those who have been put in jail, but they are convicted wrongly and serving time that is not right for them. Kids and teens being put in jail, people believe that they should be put charged as adults. Which in my opinion is wrong, a child should not be charged as an adult. They are kids, kids who have no business in jail. I understand that there are crimes that need to be punished but, the age limit matters and the type of crime. Teens 15 years of age in an adult jail suffering, the teen knew what they have done. But the sentencing and the placement was a bit harsh. I want to know more about their case, what actually happened, why were they given that sentence? Who made the decision to charge kids as adults?
