American juvenile incarceration: destroying a generation to feed the prison system


Wil Wheaton writes, "Today's Fresh Air (MP3) is just heartbreaking. It's an interview about the juvenile
'justice' system in America with Nell Bernstein, author of Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison, and how prison is just destroying young lives in
the name of giving prison workers jobs. No. Seriously. It's infuriating, and it dovetails perfectly with your
review of Matt Taibbi's new book.
