Video: System Failure: Violence, Abuse and Neglect in the California Youth Authority

Posted on March 3, 2005

This video from WITNESS and Books Not Bars details human rights violations and abuses in CYA institutions and calls for closing CYA's nine facilities and replacing them with community-based alternatives and small rehabilitation centers that give youth a chance to succeed on the outside. Some footage highlights the differences between CYA and model community-based, service-rich facilities in Missouri.
