Morales v Turman

Morales v Turman
Added to 'Cases' links on the right*
Texas Youth Council for Disobedience

"Morales v. Turman has since been heralded for establishing the first clear standards for the nation's juvenile justice apparatus.  But forty years later, incarcerated youth and their advocates are still fighting not only for an atmosphere that fosters rehabilitation but for one that merely offers some modicum of protection from chronic and vicious abuse."

Excerpt from "The Real Recidivism Problem, One Hundred Years of Reform and Relapse at the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys" Chapter 14 of Burning Down the House, The End of Juvenile Prison by Nell Bernstein
