Rejected petition Reduce the rate young people go to prison by introducing more empowering tactics
The youth have been pushed into a pipeline of crime with no rehabilitation opportunities to initiate change.
This school to prison pipeline has become a way of dealing with young people stuck in a Web of destruction due to family issues, lack of education, poverty, low self esteem and fear.
