Caught Up - (Gender and Justice) by Jerry Flores (Paperback)

The book "From Home to Detention Center and Back Again" is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the lives of 50 Latina girls living in California.

Through their experiences, the author reveals the devastating impact of the school-to-prison pipeline on these young women, as they are inadvertently caught up in the system of confinement.

Despite well-intentioned wraparound services designed to support them, the girls find themselves trapped in a cycle of surveillance and incarceration, unable to escape the formal detention center and achieve a productive life course.

This powerful book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing young women today and how they can be supported to overcome these challenges.
