"School-to-Prison in the US"
Geraldine Alshamy, DirectorEHSTrecords.info
Director, Project RESCUE
Director, Family Outreach for Action for Children
Executive Director, Mary Magdalene Ministries, Shaw University
Geraldine will talk about the criminal justice policy in the United States has for some time now spurned In the United States rehabilitation has been replaced by long and often permanent incarceration of people, and the root causes of crime are neglected in the belief these people can never be anything else but criminals. In the last decade, this system has seeped into our schools. These various policies, collectively referred to as the School-to-Prison Pipeline, push children out of school and hasten their entry into the juvenile and eventually the criminal justice system. Prison is the end of the road.
