A 16 year old girl in El Paso could face up to 40 years in jail for trying to smuggle cocaine into the US.

"Our correctional system is so imperfect," said Cristina Cruz-Grost, a child psychiatrist and forensic expert. "We need to come together to educate and rehabilitate people who go through the system. É To place a 16-year-old in the correctional department of Texas with up to a 40-year sentence erases the potential for rehabilitation and destroys her life."

She allegedly caught trying to smuggle 50lbs of cocaine worth from $280,000 to $700,000. Let me teach the government a lesson. The reason it's worth so much is because of the risks associated with smuggling it - risks that they create.
