While it might not be financially viable, I think it's got to be cheaper to board these kids for a couple of years while they're young then to be boarding some of them later in life in prisons.

Don't some of these 'boot-camp' type facilities already exist? You have to be willing to go... it may be that offering a strictly regimented military-esque lifestyle isn't appealing to poor urbanites (assuming it was free to attend). I suppose you could try and force them into these schools, but I think we've been there already (residential schools) and it's not something Canadian ideals support (as far as I'm aware).
The solution has to be realistic. Forcing them to stop having children or into military schools isn't realistic. Setting up a school that caters to their environment/background/lifestyle IS realistic.
