We’ve been writing these days about the exaggerated number of children and youth in prison, the severe racial disparity that exists in the juvenile justice system, and the school-to-prison pipeline.
The school-to-prison pipeline describes the many ways in which inadequate support for kids in schools contributes to an increased flow of kids dropping out of school and winding up in the juvenile justice system.
If you want to listen to an interesting podcast about what school districts and lawyers can do to help plug the school-to-prison pipeline see the interview with Dan Losen, an attorney and former school teacher: http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/podcast_monthly_episode_53/
