YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBecome a patron
"The report, "Debtor's Prison for Kids? The High Cost of Fines and Fees in the Juvenile Justice System" (pdf), documents the results of a survey of 183 people involved in the juvenile justice system—including lawyers, family members, and adults who had been incarcerated as children in the juvenile justice system—in 41 states.
The report authors discovered that in most states there is a pile-up of fees and fines imposed on children and their families once a child enters the juvenile justice system, and that "[m]any statutes establish that youth can be incarcerated or otherwise face a loss of liberty when they fail to pay."
