Mission

To wake the community up to the fact that justice is more bigoted than it is blind when one in every five Black and Hispanic man between the ages of 18-39 are incarcerated, more than 66% of which are for nonviolent offenses. 

Exposing the Schools to Prison Pipeline

The criminal justice system’s relentless pursuits now include jailing our children by sending kids to court instead of the Principal’s Office. A kindergartner was handcuffed for throwing a temper tantrum. A student was arrested for throwing an eraser.  Civil right groups call this the “school to prison pipeline. Conduct that a generation ago would’ve meant a trip to the principal’s office now lands kids in court. Find out the real deal about Mass Incarceration, School to Prison Pipeline and Prison for Profit in Terrance Tykeem’s book, Guilty By Reason of Arrest which is available at Amazon.com.  Image courtesy mbphilly.com
