did you see the documentary about the somali pirate boy who was captured by the German Navy?
He spent a couple ys in German prison - an hotel for him.
He said he did not understand the trial, and expected execution - rationalizing the nice treatment was to calm him down.
he got German classes, and after his term was offered a job and a path to citizenship.
He even sent news to his family back there...
what the other boys would think about going pirate?
