Seeking Justice and Real Crime Prevention

“You don’t care about the victims. All you care about are those kids.”

It was a comment I’ve heard in one form or another at book events, at juvenile justice talks I’ve given, or in response to pieces I’d written about our national policy of retribution towards troubled kids. I have to admit, though, this guy…

Mental Health Alternatives in Prison

from RonArtest.com: Mental Health and World Issues, June 8, 2012
