BAF Radio: Criminalization of Black Youth and the Juvenile Prison System
[jwplayer mediaid=”2378″]
March 15, 2014
Most discussion and studies of the Prison Industrial Complex completely omits the conditions of Black/POC youth. Yet they are being confined in rising numbers, are being tried as adults or confined for years in juvenile prisons, which just prepare them for penitentiaries. We want to talk about organizing the Black community to deal with this, and saving our children from prison slavery.
Tune in at 8:00PM EST to Black Autonomy Federation Radio!
