NY: Debtors’ Prison for Kids: When Families Can’t Afford to Free Jailed Youths (Includes audio)
Public News Service – September 19, 2016
Jessica Feierman, associate director at the Juvenile Law Center, called it a punishment for being poor. “We’re creating two separate systems of justice. This is really a glaring example of justice by income,” Feierman said. “We really can do better. We can set a system that’s fair to all young people, not just the ones who have access to money.” Report: http://debtorsprison.jlc.org/documents/JLC-Debtors-Prison.pdf
