A Prison Without Bars: A Ranch Where Hope Grows
A Prison Without Bars: A Ranch Where Hope Grows
Sure we all are anti-incarceration. And would you vote to
put kids in prison? Just the same, what do you do with kids
that at 16 are dropping out, failing probation, jacking people
and carrying Mach 10s? And for poor kids-- budget cuts mean
the loss of housing, welfare, and access to school. It also
means that any community alternatives to state prison are
seriously threatened.
FSRN and Prison Radio brings you the voices of ten young
men -- African American, Latino, Asian American, Samoan, Iraqi,
and a Ukraininan teenager, all doing time, or who have done
time at Log Cabin Ranch San Franciscos juvenile detention
facility. These are boys trying to becoming men, boys who
are fathers. They told us that ignoring the crisis has had
deadly consequences and that they want to live. Their raps
and poems document their journey-- admist the pain of poverty
and profiling.
