EDUCATION - Juveniles in the Justice System

"California Photographer Captures Young Faces of Juvenile Detention" PBS Newshour 2/2/2012

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Next, another in our series on the nation's high school dropout crisis.

Last night, we profiled Victor Rios, a former-gang-member-turned-college-professor who now mentors at-risk youth.

Tonight, a story about those not so fortunate.

Rios' colleague, photographer Richard Ross, has been documenting the lives of people caught up in the juvenile justice system.

Here, in his own words and images, is what he learned, as part of our American Graduate project.
