How to Learn Worse Stuff

I don't understand whey "they" can just hand out time for the stupidest stuff. By "they", I mean the judges, prosecutors, and P.O.s. whey they should just be like, "OK, so he smokes, he doesn't need 30 days wasted off his life for that." So what if I smoke a jay, nobody died today, nobody got robbed, stabbed, raped. So what give them the right to send you to group homes and detention centers where all the real criminals are. I mean since I've been on probation, I've met more robbers, drug dealers, and gang members that when I was walking the streets. It just doesn't make sense. Juvie is more like a school to learn how to do worse stuff than a place to make you change.
