Tackling Injustice: Danger in Youth Prisons

Lockdown 2 Legacy

In this episode we address the bitter-sweet complexities of the holiday season. We share personal stories that reveal the often unseen struggles some people grapple with during this festive period, underscoring the urgent need for empathy, inclusivity and unyielding kindness. From a heartwarming narrative about our grandparents' open-door holiday tradition to the chilling news of an active shooter incident at a local hospital, we hope to inspire a deeper understanding of the world around us.
As we guide you through the labyrinth of Ohio's juvenile detention centers, known as DYS, we reveal the grim realities concealed within its walls. From an unsettling case of a paralyzed 15-year-old inmate to the disturbing lack of training for guards, we expose the critical issues plaguing these institutions. We aim to spark conversations about alternative sentencing, increased support for incarcerated youth, and the pressing need for resource allocation. Join us on this journey as we transform lockdowns into legacies.
