Watch The Greene Space's Breaking the School-to-Prison Pipeline on Livestream.com. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and more than 60 percent of those inmates are African-American and Latino—despite the fact they make up only 30 percent of the country’s population. Often, their road to prison begins in the school system. Consider that 40 percent of students expelled in the U.S. each year are black and 70 percent involved in school arrests are black and Latino. How did we get here and what will it take to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline? Join WNYC, the American Justice Summit and The Marshall Project for a conversation about the present and future of juvenile justice in America, hosted by WNYC’s Jami Floyd. Panelists Corey Johnson is a reporter with The Marshall Project.

His reporting on deficient school earthquake safety also won national journalism honors and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Judge Jimmie M. Edwards is the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court judge in Missouri and the founder of Innovative Concept Academy in St. Louis.
