This class covers the criminalization of black youth, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the campaigns to counter the narrative of criminalization. Dr. Prince White looks at the racially disparate policing, sentencing, and incarceration rates and the treatment of youth as adults. He invites us to visualize the remote, massive prisons in California and ponder the alternatives to mass incarceration.

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
