System Failure: Violence, Abuse and Neglect in the California Youth Authority
By the Books Not Bars project of The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and WITNESS
is a documentary that exposes the horrific conditions and human rights violations endemic of the California Youth Authority, one of the largest youth correctional agencies in the United States. “System Failure” calls for the closure of CYA’s eight prison facilities to be replaced with regional rehabilitation centers and local community based alternatives.
In addition to the video, we will feature speakers
regarding the CYA and Casa Blanca Profiling, Sentencing and Police Issues
