In this show we envision how our Juvenile (In)Justice system could be humanizing, instead of detrimental to youth and society. It's shifting a system from an approach that breaks youth's will by having them cave-in, give up, or get tough and instead align the system with what we know about youth, about learning, and about life.
We have two guests: Sousan is the mom of youth in the Juvenile (In)Justice system and school counsellor, Michael is the Director of Youth Programs at the Village for Arts and Humanities in Philadelphia.
