Talia Moreno from Bridgemakers is a 21 year old creator with skills and experience in graphic design. The Graffiti concept has been something that appears to be some form of vandalization and here we see an example where this has an actual positive impact on the community.

Although carjackings and vehicle thefts make headlines frequently, we seldom hear from young people about why they engage in such activities. The #NoKidsInPrison Exhibition presents an opportunity to listen and understand their reasons. Visit the exhibition to learn more.

We were fortunate to have Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty attend the #NoKidsInPrison Exhibition! Mary elaborated on her responsibilities as County Attorney & how incarceration affects youth. She also outlined her office's approach to tackling this problem. Thank you Mary!

Access to counsel should not be a barrier determining whether or not youth languish in detention pending trial. System involved youth deserve representation, and wrap around care close to home in their communities. Prison is no place for kids. themarshallproject.org/2024/01/11/juv…

A massive new investigation has tied the biggest corporations in America — from Coca-Cola to McDonald's to Walmart — to prison labor. Some prisoners have 30% of their wages taken by the state for room and board, even though they're paid less than $3/hr. apnews.com/article/prison…
