- Synopsis
- As a teacher of creative writing at Juvenile Hall in Los Angeles, the author came to know a group of boys who had been incarcerated from offenses ranging from parole violation to first-degree murder. This book grew out of his experiences with the boys, his observations of court proceedings, his interviews with judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, and his extensive research into the history and current state of juvenile justice in the United States. The personal stories of teenagers as they move through the system brings the book to life and puts a human face on enormous social problems. The book is interspersed with essays and poetry written by Humes' students.
