Book Overview
Although youth violence in inner cities in the US is declining, incarceration rates and prison terms are only getting higher and longer. Rodriguez, a former inmate himself, spent two years following youth caught up in the juvenile justice system, some on probation or house arrest, some struggling to find a job or complete their education, and others presently incarcerated. He also documented people who work in the juvenile justice system to see how these youth, faced with fewer and fewer second chances, struggle to change their lives. Illustrated with 100 b/w photos.

Great book but needs more writing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This was a short read, and very good book. great photographs. like the previous poster said above, Rodriguez does a great job at giving readers a look inside this world and his past life thru the photography. This book is mostly photographs, w/ not alot of writing. I wish it would of had more writing, but it is a good book. I also wish the author could have gotten the members in this book to comment a lil bit more.. There's mostly comments from ppl who run the juvenile facilities. Overall, a good book, but wish it had a lil bit more to offer.
