VIDEO:  Schoolhouse to Jailhouse
 
 
In the summer of 2007, the New York Civil Liberties Union partnered with youth from three community organizations -- Future of Tomorrow, Make the Road New York and Youth on the Move -- to produce three short documentaries on student experience with the over-policing of New York City schools and the School to Prison Pipeline. The NYCLU supported the youth in creating their own videos using their own words and footage. For more information, please visit www.nyclu.org/yca.
