The paragraph below says it all. You were creating criminal acts as a 17 year old and you want sympathy.
You should have joined the army or gone to a juvenile work camp.

My story and the roundabout way in which it affects American security started when I was 17. An undercover officer at my high school befriended myself and others in “smash and grabs”. He was the ringleader, driving us to different locations. During the arrest I refused to speak without access to my parents or a lawyer, I was never disrespectful nor impolite as I always respected authority, but being a naïve believer in the rule of law, I was not only denied this right, but I was severely beaten with a stick to my groin and I was rendered deaf in one ear due to the beating I received.
