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!!

thinking about how juvenile detention made everyone in the vicious generation worse, and how they're probably all bonded by the shared trauma of incarceration in a way that most of them probably don't even consciously realize and would definitely never admit to even if they did.

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

"Even if you were a victim yourself, that doesn't make it any less of a crime to use violence towards your family. The law judges facts. Because you're a father, because you're a son. That doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not...you are violent. That's all. The trial is closed."

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."

“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.”

Bildsätze

Wie forensic architecture oder manche (Rechts-) Beraterinnen in den communidades und favelas von Recife, so arbeitet auch Richard Ross an einer Stelle, an der offensichtlich ist, dass das Recht eigenschaftsfrei, Ersatz und austauschbar ist. Manchmal ist es sinnvoller, auf einen anderen Kanal zu setzen. Die Beraterinnen in Recife, etwa de Brito, von der ich das alles erfahren habe, setzen ausgefeilt auf ausgefeilte Alternativen, weil die Nebenwirkung jeder rechtlichen Lösung mindestens das gleiche Gewicht an Unrecht mitschleppt. Statt sich Rechtsanwältin zu nennen, nennt man sich lieber Beraterin oder helfende Hand. Schon von sich selbst als Mediator zu sprechen ist in Verhältnissen, in denen almoça sem balança zur stehenden Formulierung für fast alles, nicht nur für das Mittagessen, wurde, zuviel. Gesellschaften ohne Zentren habe nicht eine Mitte, in ihnen ist alles mitten im Leben, das ist Teil dessen, was man als maßlos wahrnimmt. Das sind Gesellschaften, in denen man auch mit denen kooperieren muss, mit denen man nichts als Probleme teilt, jede Teilung also keine Ruhestätte hat. Die Verhältnisse sind weder schön noch wahr noch gut, auch wenn alles davon in Verhältnissen und dann sogar im Überfluss und massenhaft vorkommt. Nur ist so etwas wie Wahrheit eben nichts und niemandem reservierbar. Auch hier stellen sich Maße ein, mehr oder weniger spontan, immer unbeständig.

Ross berät zwar über keine Alternativen. Umso schärfer zeigt er das Eigenschaftsfreie, den Ersatz und das Austauschbare, die allesamt Recht sind. Er fotografiert Institutionen, unter anderem Jugendliche in Gefängnissen, Straf- und Besserungsanstalten. Er zeigt, was man davon haben kann, wenn man Recht behält. Bilder wie Schriftsätze, das sind Bildsätze. Ein Schriftsatz sagt mehr als tausend Worte, nicht immer, aber das kann er leicht. Bildsätze schaffen das auch.

Vielleicht gibt es die Stellen, an den das Recht eigen ist und kein Ersatz und nicht austauschbar. Bin mir nur gerade nicht sicher, welche Stellen das wo und wann sein sollen. In der Anwaltskanzlei, in der ich fast vier Jahre gearbeitet habe, hieß der weise Spruch gegenüber Mandanten immer: Es ist so, als kämen sie mit einem Grillhähnchen zum Arzt.

3.

Die Stellen, an denen Ross arbeitet, können als Einzelfälle, als Ausnahmen, als Symptome oder als repräsentativ betrachtet werden. In polaren Verhältnissen können sie alles das sein, wie Stadien einer Bewegung, die so kreist wie die Säuglinge, die saugen wollen, die also vage und doch präzise ist. Wie Saisons oder wie Phasen können diese Stelle vom Einzelfall bis zur Repräsentation alle betrachtbaren Erscheinungsformen annehmen. An solchen Stellen ist der anthropologische Geiz ausspielbar, sprich: man kann sagen, andere Gesellschaften, seien es die Amerikaner oder die Russen, die Unzivilisierten oder die Barbaren, die Muslime oder die Ostdeutschen, die Christen oder die Atheisten, die Juden oder die Chinesen würden so mit Kindern und Jugendlichen umgehen.

Und immer kommen solche Stellen vor, wie Kreuzungen. In Rostov am Don sterben Leute im Gefängnis, in Paris werden sie auf der Straße erschossen. Oury Jalloh verbrennt hier, jemand anders woanders. Es ist zu jederzeit und an jedem Ort möglich, das Richtige zu tun und das Falsche zu unterlassen. Das Problem ist, dass was schief geht. Dafür braucht man diagonale Wissenschaften.

Let’s talk about looks.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and because of that I have this kind of eternal baby face/moon face usually associated with juvenile arthritis. Plus, I am very short.

I am also 29 years old and don’t show it. People are always eager to remind me when I tell them my age. They assume I am in my early 20s or even a teenager.

Now, someone might think that I am complaining about something nonsense because who in their right mind would complain about looking younger? Our society has internalised that being young or looking young is something good and positive, whereas looking old or - God forbid! - looking older than your actual age is horrible and should be avoided. I don’t have to say how that’s wrong but we’ll leave it to another post.

Tell me what you want but I hate it when people point out to me that I look younger than my age. Not because I think that being a teen or in early 20s is bad or anything, but because my younger appearance is related to my illness and not to genetics or the way nature shaped me. And I am always reminded of that and how people perceive me because of that.

Also, there’s always a difference between how people treat a grown up and a teen/very young person. I always fear that people won’t take me serious, that they will condescend me, think that I am naive and inexperienced because they think “I’m too young”. Not that it is correct to do that even to actual teens and young people, but it’s what some people do. Heck, I also worry that they’d ask me for my ID when I buy alcohol.

Make-up serves me to try to look a bit older.

Now, I know I still belong to the young side, but I am also a full grown adult (I surpassed the 25 threshold, the age when your brain finishes developing), I am a mature and responsible person who had some life experience and is not totally clueless.

So what I wanted to express is: can we please stop making comments about people’s looks? I don’t care if you think that looking young is a compliment. For some it might be, but still, don’t do that because you never know someone else’s story. I don’t care about looking young, I don’t smile when you tell me so.

There are plenty of stuff you can compliment me on. For example, I think I have a dope sense of style.

Thanks.

Children as young as 11 are confined alone to cells the size of parking spaces up to 23 hours a day at a juvenile detention center in Southern Illinois, according to a lawsuit filed by ACLU of Illinois.

Young people at the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center in Benton must ask staff permission to flush the toilet, and they can go days or weeks without access to schoolwork. Black mold grows on the walls, according to the lawsuit filed Friday, and there are no mental health professionals employed at the facility.

The lawsuit seeks a court order compelling the facility to improve conditions immediately, on the basis of deprivation of their rights under the 14th Amendment.

“These are not conditions that anybody, let alone any child, should be subjected to,” said Kevin Fee, the lead lawyer on the case, describing the situation as “inhumane to the level of being unspeakable.”

In general, the conditions of juvenile detention centers in the U.S. have been slowly improving in the last few decades thanks to research on the harms of solitary confinement, so this case is “especially frightening,” said clinical and forensic psychologist Apryl Alexander, who works with detained youth.

“We’re supposed to be using the juvenile legal system for rehabilitation and not punishment. These are youth who are capable of change — we recognize that developmentally and personally. And so we should be treating them as such,” Alexander said.

Fee added that the Franklin detention center is used to hold kids before they have been sentenced or found guilty by a court.

The ACLU of Illinois spoke with more than a dozen youngsters who are either detained currently or have been detained at the facility within the past few weeks about their experiences there, Fee said.

“The idea that children would spend any portion of their childhood locked in solitary confinement is an egregious abuse,” Fee said.

Solitary confinement is “extremely harmful for everybody who is locked up, but particularly for children spending that much time in a brightly lit room, unable to really sleep properly,” Fee said.

The practice has been banned for youth held by the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice since 2015, and on Friday, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed legislation making it illegal to use on “young detainees in detention centers for any purpose other than preventing immediate physical harm.”

The law will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

Alexander added that the majority of suicides that happen in detention occur when a person is in solitary confinement.

It is also important to consider that many youth in the juvenile legal system experienced trauma before they were detained, “so putting them in solitary confinement can also be retraumatizing,” Alexander said.

Neither the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center nor the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice immediately responded to a request for comment by The Associated Press.

TW: sexual abuse

95 people are involved in this lawsuit. 95 children were subjected to decades of systematic sexual violence and physical abuse at the hands of those who had been entrusted with their care

and those are just the ones who are suing. there are certainly more.

"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.

they say it takes an entire village to raise a child. in other words, a child's life could be ruined if the entire village neglects the child.
