ABA President Paulette Brown: School to Prison Pipeline

March 10, 2016

The “school-to-prison pipeline” refers to policies and practices that push school children, especially at-risk children, out of classrooms and into the criminal justice system.  This pipeline reflects the prioritization of incarceration over education. On March 10 at 6 p.m. in the Pugh Hall Ocora, ABA President Paulette Brown explored how inadequate resources, ineffective discipline policies and an increased reliance on law enforcement has resulted in a funneling of students into the juvenile justice system.

This event was sponsored by the Center for the Study of Race & Race Relations, City of Gainesville Office of Equal Opportunity, Clara Gehan Association for Women Lawyers, Eighth Judicial Circuit Bar Association, Florida Association for Women Lawyers, The Florida Bar Diversity Leadership Grant, Josiah T. Walls Bar Association, North Central Florida Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, University of Florida Levin College of Law and the Bob Graham Center for Public Service.
