A veteran teacher gives an "inside" view of the lives of juveniles
sentenced as adults
David Chura taught high school in a New York county penitentiary
for ten years--five days a week, seven hours a day. In these pages,
he""gives a face to a population regularly demonized and reduced to
statistics""by the mainstream media. Through language marked by
both the grit of the street and the expansiveness of poetry, the
stories of these young people break down the di-visions we so
easily erect between us and them, the keepers and the kept--and
call into question the increasing practice of sentencing juveniles
as adults.
