"This place is called a shelter, but effectively, these kids are incarcerated," says @jacobsoboroff after touring immigrant detention center housing 1,400 boys on.msnbc.com/2sWoVd3


This never was a mission to protect children or to heighten public safety. We must fight now more than ever for children that are faced with a system that disrupts their childhood, rheir future economic opportunities, destroys family integrity, and their safety.

All too often, we are limited to second-hand accounts of the choices that lead down paths to juvenile delinquency. The Beat Within, a publication featuring writing and art from incarcerated youth, provides a microphone for the voices that matter most. >> jjie.org/2018/05/14/low…


Since 1975, the @ChildrensDefenseFund has used its resources to emphasize the problem of school discipline policies. 43 years later, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) publishes a report on unequal discipline. Take a look. bit.ly/2HhtTuk https://t.co/1qByWW8zqN
