The school-to-prison pipeline is the process where kids get pushed out of school and eventually get sent to prison. This is a slow process. Thanks to zero tolerance polices, and the media more and more kids, especially children of color are being sent to prison.
Three Consequences in the school-to-prison pipeline • One consequence is that young people lose chances for education. • Another consequence is that the skills these young people learn skills only used in prison. • Lastly they get used to crime.
Three examples TBA contributes to the school-to-prison pipeline • TBA uses many of its punishments as suspensions. • TBA has police officers dealing with disciplinary problems. • TBA searches their student’s bags.
How is the juvenile justice system supposed to work? • The juvenile justice system is supposed to work by stopping teens from committing crimes. They catch teens at a young age and prevent them from doing anymore crimes.
Describe some challenges that the juvenile justice system faces Some challenges they face are that the students don’t learn what they need to learn in juvie. Another problem is that they might spend a long time doing bad things after juvie because of the things they learned there.
Level 1 misbehaviors • If a child is out of uniform they will have to change into whatever the teachers want (for example; graduation garments, an ugly shirt ect.)
Level 2 misbehaviors • If a child vandalizes property of the school they will be sent to they disciplinary officer’s office and they will do their work there. After school they will also stay there for a hour in detention.
Level 3 misbehaviors • If a child is caught with a weapon they shall be sent to the detention center immediately and will have their parents called to let them know that their child is in the detention center.
My opinion on Zero tolerance policies • Zero tolerance policies are dumb and useless. These “rules” punish kids harshly on rules that they broke once. It doesn’t matter if it was by accident, in defense, or if it was the first time the rule was being broken.
What should the hearing process be like? I think that the parents, the teachers who saw the incident happen, anyone who was harmed, and the principle should all be in the meeting. Then everyone would have a chance to speak.
Strategies and programs • Talk with the teacher. This helps because it will let out all of their emotions. • Have a police officer talk about crime. This will help because it will show crime isn't worth it. • Have an after school program dedicated to kids who feel like they are being pushed out. • Give kids who might get pushed out some extra work for school. • Give them a fun project that will inspire them to work harder.
what should the process be? I think there shouldn’t even be a process because the students should just be able to walk up to a teacher and say how they feel.
