I don't know what to say. Something about playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes comes to mind.

maybe that taste of adult jail will scare her straight

I know a person who spent 6 months in a jail as a minor doing the same stupid game I guess. They must have been feeding her better than they did the rest of the population .

She'd been in prison for 2 weeks before anyone learned she was actually 13. Would she really not tell anyone? I don't want to speculate too much, but I find it worrying that she'd rather keep up the act and stay in adult prison than reveal she was 13 and get dealt with in juvenile court/released to her parents.
