On April 1,  I speak with author Nell Bernstein about her latest book, In Our Future We Are Free,  "an astonishing story of resistance and change" about the "dismantling of the youth prison" system. 

Bernstein is the Directing Advocate at the Youth Law Center in Sacramento, California. The details below are taken from the back page of her new book. 

"Nell Bernstein is the author of All Alone in the World, a Newsweek Book of the Week, and Burning Down the House, winner of the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award. She is a former Soros Justice Media Fellow, a MacDowell Fellow, and a winner of the White House Champton of Change award. Her articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Glamour, Salon, Mtoher Jones, and other publications."
