Why not just incarcerate everyone between the age of 15-27, if what we're worried about is crime rate.

Because most of those people are not repeat violent criminals? We only need to incarcerate repeat violent offenders to reduce crime noticeably. This is not controversial. The data is linked-to above.

If we incarcerated everyone, it would be even lower.

Reductio ad absurdum
