This documentary looks at America’s Juvenile Justice System and how we came to incarcerate juveniles. America incarcerates juveniles at a higher rate than any other developed nation. Listen to the stories of children who were incarcerated and the impact of being involved in juvenile justice, being given psychotropic drugs, and using solitary confinement as punishment. Seventy percent of children in juvenile justice have mental health issues and have a high incidence of PTSD. This film explores the ethical dilemmas in keeping the community safe while addressing the mental health needs of juvenile offenders.
After viewing and participating in a discussion about this film, you will be able to:
1) Trace the history of how America came to incarcerate juveniles at a higher rate than any other developed nation; and,
2) Assess the effectiveness of this system compared to other models of intervention for various presenting issues/behaviors.
