  • “How did we become a society that handcuffs its young and warehouses them in penal institutions instead of educating them? From Education to Incarceration answers that questions and offers an intelligently crafted overview of how ill-advised and inhumane practices and policies in the United States have betrayed generations of young persons, with suggestions for how we can upend these transgressions. Educators, attorneys, youth organizers and many others write with authority and conviction in this timely, relevant and eminently readable book.”

– Heidi Boghosian, Executive Director, National Lawyers Guild

  • “This compelling collection of voices of radical educators could not arrive at a more urgent time. It serves as a clenched fist with the power to break ideological chains. Read it, and take back our schools!”

– Dr. Peter McLaren, University of California, Los Angeles
