#Juvenile Justice

[alwaysbewoke]

On March 5th, 1959, 69 African American boys, ages 13 to 17, were padlocked in their dormitory for the night at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. Around 4 a.m., a fire mysteriously ignited, forcing the boys to fight and claw their way out of the burning building. The old, run-down, & low-funded facility, just 15 minutes south of Little Rock, housed 69 teens from ages 13-17. Most were either homeless or incarcerated for petty crimes such as doing pranks. 48 boys managed to escape the fire. The doors were locked from the outside and fire mysteriously ignited on a cold, wet morning, following earlier thunderstorms in the same area of rural Pulaski County. The horrific event brought attention to the deplorable conditions in which the boys lived. The boys all slept in a space barely big enough for them to move around & theyre one foot apart from one another & their bathroom was a bucket at the corner where they had to defecate in. In an ironic twist, the land in which the school stood is now the Arkansas Department of Correction Facility Wrightsville Unit. In 2019 a plaque was finally placed after 60 years.

PURE EVIL!!! MY GOD!!

Today I finished (again) "Juvenile Justice", and it would be great to see Azula as a judge punishing young delinquents.

November Viewing Log

Yeah, I know it’s the end of the year, but I went ahead and started this side blog, complete with a section for my monthly watchlist anyway. I wanted a space where I could jot down quick thoughts on what I’m currently watching (and loving).

Currently Watching

The Tale of Lady Ok (🇰🇷) – After finishing the incredible Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born, I had this huge urge to watch another sageuk. I was so happy to find something new that’s so well-made. Even after just two episodes, the plot had me hooked — stories about the struggles of the lower class in historical settings always grab my attention, and this one doesn’t hold back. By the end of episode two, I found myself thinking about how the main character, ironically, might’ve been “freer” when she was enslaved. Once her status changed to something noble, she became bound by duties to others.

When the Phone Rings (🇰🇷) – Everyone’s obsessed with this show, and yep, count me in. It’s such a breath of fresh air at the end of a not-so-great k-drama year — a story about adults (with not-so-adult decisions haha), wrapped in a darker, sensual tone. The characters are flawed, complicated, and just so interesting to watch.

Fangs of Fortune (🇨🇳) – Total newbie to c-dramas here. I’ve only seen a couple of modern ones, and this is my first wuxia. But wow, I’m obsessed already. The plot is promising, the action scenes are amazing, and the sets and costumes? Chef’s kiss. Even though I’m usually neutral about fantasy, this show is winning me over.

Revenge of Others (🇰🇷) – Honestly, I started watching this solely because Shin Ye Eun is in the lead role. Normally, I avoid school dramas, but the thriller angle pulled me in. Plus, Shin Ye Eun is just (always) wonderful, so I’m sticking with it.

Watched

Juvenile Justice (🇰🇷) – I started this one back in 2023 but put it on hold for a while. The overall vibe was good, but I needed the right mood for such heavy themes like juvenile crime and cruelty. I came back to it this year and finished it — and I don’t regret it. It’s such a well-made show that dives deep into the law and intertwines the cases with the lead’s own tragic backstory. The acting was memorable, and I’d love to see a second season.

Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born (🇰🇷) – Probably my favorite drama of the year. I cried so much — literally had tissues ready for every episode. It had everything I love: a historical context about women’s theater (a topic I didn’t know much about before), my favorite Kim Tae Ri in the lead, the equally amazing Shin Ye Eun and Ra Mi Ran, an almost entirely female cast, and a story that’s deeply emotional. The theater performances were so captivating I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Honestly, I’m shocked it didn’t get more love from international fans, though it was well-received in Korea.

Love in the Big City (🇰🇷) – The book this is based on was one of the first I read in Korean. I remember it as a beautifully written, honest, and realistic story, so of course, I had to watch the adaptation. And it didn’t disappoint.

The Trunk (🇰🇷) – Honestly, I found this pretty boring. It felt like the creators were trying to hint at some deeper meaning behind a simple story, but it didn’t land. It could’ve been a decent movie, but as a series, it felt empty and dragged out. That said, the house design was memorable, and the OST was nice.

Mr. Plankton (🇰🇷) – At one point while watching it, I was borderline obsessed, but looking back with a cooler head, I think it was just Woo Do Hwan and Oh Jung Se pulling me in. I love their acting styles and delivery. The plot, though? All over the place. In theory, it could’ve been a cool modern take on some classic Korean folktale about a morally gray lower-class antihero kidnapping a poor girl from a noble family. But it feels like Netflix tried to cram every melodramatic trope into one series to appeal to everyone — and, honestly, “for everyone” often ends up being “for no one.” Still, I don’t regret watching it.

What Comes after Love (🇰🇷🇯🇵) – I’m also studying Japanese, so I was intrigued by the setting involving both Japan and Korea, with characters speaking both languages. It’s a classic love story about unspoken feelings and how emotions change over time. The ending felt quite logical.

Beyond Goodbye (🇯🇵) – I watched this right after What Comes after Love because of Sakaguchi Kentaro. It might be your typical Japanese drama about reincarnation and fated connections, but it was beautifully shot and well-acted, so I’m happy with it.

Queen of Tears (🇰🇷) – I started this as it aired but dropped it, and honestly, I probably should’ve left it there. There was no chemistry between the leads (even though I like their acting individually), and the makjang elements couldn’t even justify the plot holes. Yet another case of trying to throw in every possible trope and failing to tie it all together.

The Frog (🇰🇷) – Should’ve dropped this after episode two. But I stuck with it for you, my dear Go Min Si.

Gangnam B-Side (🇰🇷) – It felt like a spin-off of The Worst of Evil set in modern-day Gangnam — and I’m not even complaining. The Worst of Evil was my highlight last year, and while Gangnam B-Side isn’t as cohesive, it’s worth it for those standout scenes with Ji Chang Wook and Bibi.

"The system has failed these kids."

You underfund it, don't provide adequate oversight, overwork and ignore the people employed there, and then when it all breaks down, you use it as proof that the kids you threw into it are inherently evil and should have their civil rights and any sensible expectation of mercy thrown away.

It doesn't sound like the system is failing. It sounds like you engineered it perfectly to destroy the poverty-stricken children you have no use for.

Judge sim from juvenile justice as tarot cards:

"We need to show them how scary the law is. We need to teach them that there are consequences when they harm others."

"There’s only one reason why I locked you up. To make you stand trial. I want to show you that the abuser will be locked up, not the victim. That the victim will get to stay home, and the perpetrator will be punished. I will show you that."

The guy already had clemency since the start of the pandemic.

https://www.citizensvoice.com/2024/12/12/biden-commutes-sentence-for-kids-for-cash-judge/

The guy was already on home confinement instead of prison after being granted that to avoid covid in 2020.

If you're looking for a Biden pardon to criticize - granting this judge clemency is maybe worth more attention than Hunter Biden (who would've just been a red herring focus for the next 4 years at least if they were able to do all these show trials.)

The Kids for Cash scandal was one of the most horrendous corruption debacles in Pennsylvania, and there have been many!

There was a documentary about it:

And if what this guy did is no longer against the law, then our country has already sunk so much farther into a corrupt autocracy than any of us realize.

watched Juvenile Justice Ep. 5/10

“Guardian education sessions will be held at the facilities where your children will be staying, so make sure you attend them and see how they are.

Children don’t grow up alone.

They have been sentenced today, but the weight of their crimes must be felt by their parents and guardians as well.”

who exactly are you guys, if i may ask?

kids, speaking up for yourselves and kids everywhere? or adults?

did you make this blog and start speaking about child abuse for an actual goal? or just to spread awareness?

are you guys part of anything bigger in support of children and youth rights? do you want to be?

We are a tiny group of Gen Z kids who have suffered or are currently suffering from domestic abuse that will not or has not been handled competently by the proper authorities. Having noticed a pattern of ageist, institutionalized abuse, we started a blog to call out and hopefully assist in breaking the stigma in the future. Currently we are not anything more than a blog, but we are working towards making a website along with many others that spread awareness. Yes, we do want to spark something bigger. That will likely take a long while though, as we are caught up in our life issues and studies. Thank you for asking! It is much appreciated.

Law Related Series you should definitely watch

These are law movies you should definitely watch to understand how laws can be used in different scenarios

Law-related series have been a popular genre in television for many years, and for good reason. These shows often provide viewers with a fascinating look into the legal system, including the inner workings of courtrooms, law firms, and the various roles played by lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals. Better Call Saul Better Call Saul “Better Call Saul” is a prequel to the hit series…
