Additional Titles:  Street law lessons [electronic resource] Summary:  "Books not bars documents the inspiring youth-led movement against the massive prison industry in the U.S. This video illustrates the negative impact of this for-profit prison industry on youth -- particularly those from communities of color. With music by Dead Prez and Sweet Honey in the Rock, Books not bars reveals public misperceptions about the criminalization of youth, especially youth of color, and highlights the relationship between increases in prison spending and decreases in education spending. Youth activists featured in the video challenge audiences to explore alternative options to detention and debunk public misperceptions about youth crime rates. Books not bars provides inspiring examples of peer activism, youth organizing, and mobilization around prison issues, providing youth with tangible ways to get involved with the movement to reform the U.S. prison system. In the video, young activists convince the Board of Corrections to deny pre-approved state funding for Alameda County's effort to build the biggest per capita juvenile hall in the state of California"--Www.witness.org.
