Pat McCrory wants more jails for youths.

At a campaign stop in Greenville, the Republican gubernatorial candidate said he would pursue "gang" legislation to give the state Department of Correction and the court system more funding, the Daily Reflector reports:

McCrory wants more space to incarcerate juvenile offenders so they can learn accountability for their actions. He points to the Charlotte area, where there are only 30 beds for juvenile incarceration and none of those are for girls.
