The Youth And Its Effects On Our Nation

Trepidations pertaining to young people, being unable to fulfil their educational goals, being involved in antisocial activities, expelled from mainstream schools because of truancy and other disruptive transgressions or out of work, reinforce the obligation to the end child poverty ingenuity implemented by the Coalition Government in 1999. Equally, in their manifesto, the Conservatives avowed to enhance the emphasis on assisting families and vulnerable young people. Subsequently, this is trailed by the government’s enactment of pertinent policies to try and refine the life probabilities of young people who have numerous concerns. Likewise, this has prompted the invention of more initiatives, including the advent of the targeted youth programs.

Once an honor-roll student with dreams of becoming a doctor escaped a violent, broken Detroit home at age 14. Five years later his life took a dramatic turn causing him to serve nearly 20 years behind bars. Our guest prison reform advocate describes the mental and physical agony he suffered while in prison and how he is working to tackle problems with mass

Solitary confinement is a method of reform in prisons, which is mainly used when inmates defy the rules and regulations of the prison system. It is also used to protect juveniles from adult inmates and/or dangerous situations within the prison; however, solitary confinement can be viewed as cruel and unusual punishment. Prisoners can be in complete isolation in a cell that is approximately six feet by eight feet with little or no light; there is limited access to rehabilitation or education and limited physical exercise. Solitary confinement is not limited to adults. It is also used in juvenile detention centers and state prisons across the United States. Adolescents are still developing mentally and physically, and as a result serious mental, physical and developmental issues can emerge or worsen when in confinement for long periods of time. Juvenile detention centers, State and local prisons should invest in a more adequate solution to rehabilitate incarcerated juveniles, such as educational programs, extensive psychotherapy and counseling.

Punk. Jock. Nerd. We hear and think these about labels everyday, but have you ever wondered what might be behind these names? My vision for America's Youth is to stop stereotyping. It is because I was able to overcome stereotyping that I grew more confident in my athletics. I learned it was not about proving others wrong, but proving to myself I could do it.

The article published by Mother Jones, discusses the practices of isolation at juvenile prisons in the U.S. and the psychological effects on teenagers and goes into details regarding the United States Justice Department's investigations into juvenile facilities' practices. The article goes into more detail with concern of a 17-year-old boy called Kenny. Kenny has experience locked in isolation cell and the effect on his mental health, and a brief history of the practice of isolating prisoners in the United States. This interviewee is a boy who was a juvenile prisoner in Ohio who have spend “ 82 days in the hole—locked in his own room or an isolation cell-once for 19 days at a stretch, according to court documents” (Liebelson). He was diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and being locked up in isolation was psychological torment “I wasn’t even thinking straight, banging my head on the door and everything else. I was acting like a crazy person,” he said. “I had some of the roughest nights in there that I’ve ever had in my life”

All around the world and especially the United States, there has been movements calling for the end of solitary confinement. Most of the movements across the United States have been prison-led. Inmates have brought up issues such as equal treatment towards substandard medical care, the use of isolation,

Juveniles in solitary confinement are routinely denied access to treatment, services, and programming required to meet their medical, psychological,

Sufficient improvements can be made by creating programs allowing adult prisoners to earn their way out of isolation. Prisoners can be released to a general population prison setting after two years unless they commit another offense to make them eligible for such discipline again. Conditions gradually lessen and inmates are able to engage in rehabilitative programming and an increased amount of telephone calls, among other privileges. This eliminates prisoners held in solitary confinement for small infractions. In addition, it has been noted that these conditions are especially harmful for the mental and physical health of youth, and the complete abolishment of solitary confinement for this age group is a major goal.

An initial observation of the research on solitary confinement in the United States reveals that what is currently known about this practice is centered around how adults experience prolonged isolation, how adults react to solitary confinement as a form of discipline, “protection,” “treatment,” safety or security, and not how children and teenagers under the age of 18 years old experience this form of isolation. This Macro Project focuses first on identifying how children experience this extreme form of segregation and why it is a serious concern for this population. The reminder of this report concentrates on reviewing what evidence-based practices (EBP’s) and interventions exist for this population in an effort to curb and eliminate the use of solitary confinement. Next I recommend which

In the article, “Pulling Back on the Barbaric Use of Solitary Confinement,” by The New York Times editorial board explains that last year the Department of Justice banned the use of solitary confinement for juveniles in federal prisons. People of all ages commit serious crimes; however, research shows that adolescents who are in prison suffer physical and mental illnesses. For example, Kalief Browder, a young man who was accused of a minor crime was sent to jail. Browder spent two traumatic years in solitary confinement as a form of punishment. His conditions can only worsen his suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and paranoia. For instance, the brain development has the capability to inhibit a teen of committing crimes without a full

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating and destructive effect upon society than the others." Laziness is in fact harmful in the long run. It leads to lack of dependency, which can cause drastic consequences to society. This is why solutions must be identified to solve the dilemma of dependency on others in today's youth, particularly in the United Arab Emirates, where this problem prevails.
