Lots more impressive work in Teen Vogue's "Kids Incarcerated" series
In this post a few weeks ago I noted that Teen Vogue has been giving sustained attention to the issues of juvenile incarceration in this "Kids Incarcerated" series of articles. This series now has dozens of articles that are work checking out, and these recent articles especially caught my attention and seemed worthy of additional promotion (though every article in the series looks great):
-
"A Full Timeline of How Young People Have Been Imprisoned in the United States: From reservation schools to conversion therapy, it has taken many forms."
-
"This Is Why Health Care Needs to Change for Kids Who Are Behind Bars: Young women who are incarcerated have pronounced unmet mental-heath needs."
-
"Unsurprisingly, Kids Who Receive Life Without Parole are Most Often Black: It's a highly contested sentence."
-
"Why Some Experts Don't Want Teenagers Labeled as "Sex Offenders" : Many believe that including children on registries does much more harm than good."
-
"I'm on Probation — and It's Like Another Form of Incarceration: 'Those who monitor my activities as part of my sentence still view me with suspicion and disdain'."

Umm, I would think it entirely reasonable for a probation officer to view those being monitored with suspicion. The probationer has already demonstrated that they are willing to flout the law in at least some manner. Disrespect/disdain is a different matter, however I could also well see the typical criminal (perhaps especially a juvenile offender) as having a poorly calibrated meter for that sort of thing.

Teen Vogue was a sophisticated and great magazine to follow fashion and pop culture. It has become an unhinged, left wing extremist, propaganda rag since the naming of its new editor. This thing:
