SHARE YOUR STORY

 

Juvenile-in-Justice started as a collection of images, interviews, audio documents, and texts created over a dozen years, at 300 sites in 35 states, drawn from the lives of more than 1,000 kids. As we work to share as many voices as we can from our own collection, the voices of the nearly 60,000 youth under age 18 incarcerated in juvenile facilities in the United States on any given day remain unspoken. Unfortunately, those 1,000 juveniles are just a few of the individuals impacted by the juvenile justice system.

For those who are interested in sharing their own stories, we have launched this submission page and our PAGE for others to contribute to, helping to serve as a conduit for those impacted by the systems of In-Justice in our country and beyond.
