Inside Juvenile Detention

  • As recently as 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. But by 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one.
    “It's not that you can't do good work here,” said Andy Block, who, since 2014, has served as the juvenile-justice department’s director. “But the place itself and the design and the size and the location are barriers to doing good work.” Block and others are working to close Bon Air and replace it with something that reflects the juvenile justice reforms that have taken hold in Virginia and across the country-a system that once focused on confinement is now dedicated to rehabilitation. In recent years, more than 70 percent of Virginia's juvenile inmates were rearrested within three years of their release.*

    *This documentary originally stated that Virginia has one of the highest recidivism rates in the country. This characterization was based on incomplete data. The documentary also stated that the three-year rearrest rate for current Bon Air inmates would be 74 percent. This was the rate for former juvenile inmates in Virginia in 2014. We regret the errors.

      Eddy Spagetti yes true I understand your point but like you keep saying “he wanted fresh clothes and watches,” he was thinking like a kid and not thinking about the negative outcome behind killing somebody and many of these children that are in the juvenile system think like that and when he/ others finally realized what they did was wrong ... their institutionalize amongst the prison system ( being told what to do and when you wake up,wash up/eat ,etc)

    I just came out almost 2 days ago. I've really haven't been a "behavioral kid". More on the recovery side of childhood trauma. The DJJ I was at, was a place where I could reflect on my coping and my emotional side. That last time I was there I saw from my point of view made me feel sorrow for others and myself. Somewhere there I could feel hope. It wasn't nice at all. But it did take plenty of time to just start recovery since the age of 11 starting with "mental facilities" . Each time that came back from a "program" or a "facility". Life felt good for a moment, then it would come back to hit me again because I would dwell and not reflect on others or myself mainly. I've went through a lot mentally challenging things, not meaning I had the worse; no not at all. But it took a while in order to not get lost into a lot of desires or "common" addictive behaviors. And so far so good. I've been doing way better then ever. -- You can have a hard life, But make sure to treat life good.

    I served 7 1/2 years in mount meigs in Montgomery Alabama in 23 hour lockdown. I was 11 years old when I went in and came out a week shy of my 18th birthday. 23 hour lockdown ruined me , it trained me to live inside my mind and block the world out. It has major effects and takes a major toll on your mind. It wasnt until I had kids that I realized the world was much greater then the mindset I put myself in inside of that cell.

    I have spoken to someone about my dark moments with my parents and I’m proud of it, my dad recently got out of a mental hospital a week ago due to personal issues, I’m glad he seeked help. But when your charged with 2nd degree murder, you need to understand and ask yourself, “what will this do, how can it affect me, and why did I do it”. Some people don’t think about it and don’t understand. And yet this 17 (most likely 18 or 19) is seeking help in a secure way.

  • @diamondback3150

    As a sociology major researching the relationship between education and incarceration, I was appalled at the way both systems are dealing with children. Zero Tolerance Policy should be banned. It only increases further the number of people imprisoned. It doesn't help the children from low income families; due to the fact they will most likely to have "deviant" behavior. Therefore they are also the most targeted to be suspended and/or expelled from schools as well as sent to correctional facilities. That is absolute bullshit. Most delinquents aren't murderers. For the large part, they are simply kids who have behavior problems. They talk back, resist orders, or have contraband( usually drugs and alcohol). Zero Tolerance Policy DOES NOT HELP THEM. It cuts them off from the society, and essentially abandoning them. The education system is so corrupt. This is what they call School To Prison Pipeline; a result that funnels children into incarceration. IS THIS HOW EDUCATION SHOULD BE? NO.
    There should be programs in schools. Mentor-ship for these troubled teens. Deep down, this kids needed love and attention; something that is difficult to obtain from low-income families due to parents working 12-16 hours a day to feed their kids. Parents don't have time to spend with their kids, like what that kid said in the video. These kids need mentors to look after them and guide them to the right path. THAT is education. Not throw them away, abandoned in correctional institutions where no one gives two fucks about them. This is how many criminals are born from; youth incarceration. These kids have strikes across their names, therefore it becomes very difficult for them to get into higher education. Pretty tough to get into college if they have a criminal record already. By that point, society has abandoned them. They are pretty much labelled as criminals across the board, even if deep down they are good people. Hence they become what society wants them to become; criminals. Also by that point, these kids have been accustomed to their treatment; they lose trust in the government, they lose trust in people with higher power, and of course have no love for the police. They are hateful towards people of power; creating a sort of resistance against them, crime. If people aren't going to help them get their needs, they will get their needs by taking from others. What's 1-5 years of prison to them when they have been imprisoned in their youth? They know the system.
    So much of today's societal problems stem from the relationship between education and incarceration. Government spending has increased in correctional facilities meanwhile education facilities and programs are being shut down. College is massively expensive and over priced. K-12 schools are being shut down to make way for new correctional facilities to alleviate growing inmates. Not to mention, PRISONERS EAT BETTER THAN SCHOOL CHILDREN. When prisoners eat better than school children, it means they have way more funding than education.
    US has their priorities wrong. To make proper citizens, you need to invest more money on their education and create programs to help create upstanding citizens. Prevention is the best way to combat criminal activity. It's THE ONLY way. We can't eliminate crime completely; that's idealism. Realistically, we can reduce inmates from 2 million incarcerated to back to 500,000 inmates. Probably even reduce it even more. A mere 8% of government spending in US education is a disgrace of what's considered the most powerful country in the world.
    I hope people become more and more aware of this fact. We are already contain the world's most incarcerated population, this is America's biggest irony. After all, we're supposed to be the land of the free.
