School-to-Prison Pipeline: The Shocking Stats and Real Fixes

This 8-minute documentary-style video exposes the school-to-prison pipeline: how zero-tolerance policies, school policing, suspensions, and tracking push students—especially young Black men and students with disabilities—out of classrooms and into the criminal justice system. We cite groundbreaking research showing students from strict schools are 15–20% more likely to be arrested as adults, Florida’s youth incarceration crisis (SPLC), and persistent racial disparities in suspensions. Learn practical solutions—restorative justice, cultural competency, reducing SROs, and policy reform—that break the cycle and keep kids in school.
