Part One: ADVOCATING FOR A FUTURE?
Should the naive mistakes of youth be punished as severely as the informed choices we make as adults? Isn’t there a better option than to take away the future from a young person who is often a victim to begin with? Today we visit the dome project in New York City to discuss their work with young offenders and alternative ways to keep kids out of jail... Our guest today is Richard Celestin, Director Of Advocacy and Development at the DOME Project in New York.
Part Two: ADVOCATING FOR A FUTURE? (part 2)
