@maiasz@Atul_Gawande That's wrong. There are 26 juveniles in federal prison. Slate article misleads; 10K prisoners in solitary inc adults -
And while there are ~10K juvies in state prisons/jails (tho most not in solitary), this does nothing for them.
@DLind@maiasz@Atul_Gawande -
@JohnFPfaff@DLind I guess it's debatable depending on how define terms, but I'd say it's an area with a lot of recent activist achievements -
Yeah, strange article. Also, this is NOT solitary victory that juvie advocates have been fighting for. Bc, you know: 26!
