When I saw the title and started reading I was reminded of Yusef Shakur’s account of meeting his father in jail and learning from him there.

We do need to see that a different system is possible. The premise of the School-To-Prison Pipeline is very disturbing, that the system would intentionally under educate to drive young people toward crimes of opportunity and even petty offenses that take them out of having life outside, or in an extremely dangerous spot of defending staying out. It takes a community on the outside and on the inside to reform the system. It also requires getting the bounty off the heads of our young people. They are not chattel for the prison system.
