If they ran when the police sirens went off they could have avoided a record to begin with. /s

Terrible idea to do this if their crimes are something you can drop because of completing something like this just drop the charges never mind my bigger prison-police abolitionist ideas, and also not to mention how much this discriminates against disabled teens not even mentioning teens with lack of time for time intensive things like this.
The alternative sentence was juvenile detention. This is a mentorship program that hopefully can reform and help a few kids instead of just locking them up. It could easily include the disabled, give them a different goal.
There should be no such thing as "juvenile detention" and instead of "mentorship" which includes massive time investment and often though not in this case free labor maybe do something about poverty, the lack of third spaces and on and on.
