Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison A Community Conversation with Nell Bernstein Thurs., Nov. 20 at 6:30 PM at Mark Twain Museum Center Ticketed Event One in three American school children will be arrested by the time they are twenty-three. Many of these youth will spend time in detention centers that do not incorporate everything we know about how to rehabilitate young offenders. In a candid examination of the American juvenile justice system, award-winning journalist Nell Bernstein shows that there is no right way to lock up a child. Join Bernstein and WNPR's John Dankosky for a conversation that explores this controversial issue and discusses alternative community programs that support the child and their family. Sponsored with Community Partners in Action, Connecticut Juvenile Justice Alliance & the Mark Twain House & Museum.
