A simple phone call could change the way you view juvenile justice
I’ve read the reports. I know the statistics. I am acutely familiar with the disparities that permeate the juvenile-justice system.
I’ve read books, too. Books threaded throughout with personal, heartbreaking stories that attempt to bridge the gap between the abstract idea of youth incarceration and the true experience of living through it. And I’ve been touched by those stories. I’ve felt the secondhand pain of the kids and families whose lives were ripped apart by incarceration.
