“It’s terrible here…we all want to leave.” Is something a teen
might say…
About a fire drill,
Or plain old school detention,
Taco surprise day in the cafeteria,
Or meeting his father’s embarrassing girlfriend.
Not for standing-room only
Jail for children, with not enough food, or room to lie down.
Some of these things are
Rites of passage,
But jail for brown
children should never be
(foreign or domestic)
