Almost 330,000 children in America are in prison, in a detention center, on probation or parole, or otherwise under the control of the criminal justice system. In a time of nascent prison reform, these children are often left out of the conversation.This book chronicles the experiences of six young people in Ash Meadow in Washington State. Written from the perspective of a prison rehabilitation counselor, this book provides a firsthand account of these children's lives during and after their stay.These accounts show how domestic violence, inequality and poor adult-modeling influence the decisions that children make later in life.

“Gold devotes [this] book concerning his work as a rehabilitation counselor at a juvenile prison in Washington State to the stories of six residents he knew there. ... Chapters eschew cause-and-effect descriptions of crimes and neat conclusions, focusing instead on each incarcerated young person's accounts of his or her experiences through recreated conversations, journals, and emails, and on Gold's experiences working with them. ... Their stories share threads: violence at home and in gangs; anger and suicidality in the absence of hope; and a perceived lack of belief in their futures.”—Booklist
