I don't favor juveniles going to adult prison, but also recognize that letting a 16 yr old that commits a violent crime like murder or armed robbery out when they turn 18 isn't fair to the public.

Why not blended sentences? Stay in the juvenile system until you turn 18 and then transfer to adult prison for the remainder of the sentence.
