Today’s episode of the Making Afterschool Cool podcast centers on the School to Prison Nexus. The practice of assigning students who violate the zero-tolerance policies on their campus being placed into an alternative site, the juvenile system or the criminal justice system, was originally known as the school-to-prison pipeline. However, over the years, it has become evident that the school-to-prison pipeline is more complex than previously stated. As a result, the phrase school to prison nexus emerged. To discuss the difference between the two terms are my guests; Circe Stumbo and Angelina Ramirez.
During this episode you will learn more regarding the:
- Purpose of Westwind Education Policy Inc.
- Definition of the school to prison pipeline
- Details surrounding how the school to prison nexus disproportionately impacts black and brown students
- Explanation of how the employment of police officers as school security affects school climate and disproportionally increases the number of students of color receiving discipline citations
- Recommendations to help schools create a positive and inclusive environment
