We had the pleasure to spend some time talking with therapist and social worker, Marcie, who works specifically with youth in the juvenile prison system. We talk all things prison reform and she shares insight on the school-to-prison pipeline and first-hand accounts of how and why certain kids get stuck in the system.

Children’s Defense Fund
The Children’s Defense Fund champions policies and programs to improve the odds for America’s children. They seek to end child poverty, give every child a healthy start, a quality early childhood experience, a level education playing field, and safe families and communities free from violence —with special attention to children involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The Children’s Defense Fund works to ensure more humane and rehabilitative prevention and treatment for all children who come in contact with the juvenile justice system, especially children of color who historically have been disproportionately impacted. Their policy and advocacy work include raising awareness, gathering and analyzing data, publishing reports and research, highlighting promising practices, seeking legislative and administrative improvements, and implementing policies that truly benefit the most vulnerable children.
