What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

My group met with Jordyn Wilson, who is a youth justice campaign associate at the sentencing project. The sentencing project helps kids who get trialed as adults but are juveniles. and works to impact youth incarceration. We all collectively learned about the experiences of kids in jail. We also learned that “Other countries have more stable facilities and systems for incarcerated people and go through less trauma throughout their experience.” Jordyn informed us with more in-depth information relating to kids in jail and allowed us to view various perspectives on this. issue.
