In this powerful episode of People Before Politics: Sunday Rundown, we break down the week’s top local headlines impacting Westchester and beyond, then in the second half, author and youth advocate Booker Geez joins us for an eye-opening conversation on the hidden realities inside America’s juvenile detention system. As the author of Locked Up and Put Away, Booker Geez brings firsthand insight from his 10 years working as a juvenile counselor inside New York detention facilities. He reveals the systemic failures, trauma, corruption, and long-term damage affecting young people trapped in a broken juvenile justice pipeline. This is more than an interview. It is a conversation about truth, accountability, and what happens to children once society locks them away and stops paying attention.
Topics include:
- The realities inside juvenile detention centers
- The school-to-prison pipeline
- How Black and Latino youth are disproportionately affected
- Reform failures and what must change now
- This week’s major local political and community news
