School to Prison Pipeline

Rhode Island activists turn their attention to ending the school-to-prison pipeline.

As schools across the nation see an increased police presence, Rhode Island activists have turned their attention to ending the school-to-prison pipeline, a pattern of policies and practices that escalate discipline within schools and push students into the criminal justice system. Policymakers, educators, school psychologists, legal experts, students, and formerly incarcerated share insights.

    School to Prison Pipeline is a local public television program presented by Rhode Island PBS.
