That is the norm for incarceration before trial. The usual offender is a horrible role model for children. The illegal aliens have not been picked up for rape, armed robberies, drug offenses, child abuse or neglect, or anything else that you or I could never get away with. And, yes, we shouldn't. If the parent uses a child in a crime, then that parent deserves to lose the child.
