Inside and Out
From WBEZ | 53:58
When we run out of ways to deal with a troubled child, often that child ends up in prison. In Illinois, thousands are incarcerated every year. We introduce kids struggling to stay out of trouble, find out what juvenile justice looks like to law enforcement, and what brain science has to say about kids and crime.

When we run out of ways to deal with a troubled child, often that child ends up in prison. In Illinois, thousands are incarcerated every year. Those prisons have been sealed off from the outside world, and also from outside scrutiny. WBEZ’s project on juvenile justice, “Inside and Out,” took an unprecedented look at who the kids are who end up in prison, what happens to them there, and what happens when they get out.
We introduce kids struggling to stay out of trouble, find out what juvenile justice looks like to law enforcement, and what brain science has to say about kids and crime. The stories are relevant to any place where children and the justice system intersect.

So just how different are a young person?s thought processes compared to an adult, and how can this help explain and predict their behaviour?
