How so? With age of accountability, the people in jail in the analogy are indeed there for their own crimes.
Because our 'crimes' are not asking for forgiveness for being born into 'original sin'. There is no age of accountability in this equation.
In fact, your analogy is worse than that. The sin for which we must petition forgiveness is supposed to be transgression against the governor of the prison. He takes the inmates - born, if you recall, in the prison - and tells them by proxy to beg him not to burn them, simply for being in there. Play the analogy game all you like, but don't pretend it represents anything even accidentally resembling justice.
