Chris Jack Hill illuminates a problem that needs to be addressed. First, we need to establish and fund more programs for youth to keep them out of the legal system. Secondly, we need to improve the educational system of the country. Thirdly, parents need to parent.

The only thing mass incarceration of youth do is prepare them and us for mass incarceration of adults.
