Juvenile-In-Justice by Richard Ross

“I am in the 9th grade and will have been here for six months tomorrow. I a€™m here for Violation of Parole– I had a dirty urinary analysis. I was originally charged with burglary with my brother. I was only supposed to serve three months here, but they didn’€™t start my time because I was fighting a lot. I live with my mom and grandma; my mom comes and visits sometimes. I’€™m not in a gang. My brother’€™s in leadership academy and I don’€™t know where my dad is.”
