On average, 2 million children are sent to juvenile detention centers each year. Daily, there are about 10,000 minors in adult jails and prisons.

He’ll be joined by social justice advocates, artists, and filmmakers for a discussion on the power of art in trauma recovery, and in shifting cultural perceptions about juvenile incarceration.
