Let me live : voices of youth incarcerated
(Book)

The mission of the "Poetry Behind the Walls Series" (PBW) is to provide a space and place for the voices of youth who are incarcerated to critically express their experiences related to the criminal justice system, school system and their community--Back cover.

Save the Kids is a national grassroots movement to keep youth out of incarceration and away from violence by working to end the school-to-prison pipeline.

"This anthology collects the work of incarcerated youth worldwide. The poems and autobiographical sketches featured remind readers that incarcerated youth are thinking and feeling individuals with the same aspirations and goals as other children, not merely statistics to analyze or incorrigible people to forget and discard. As a creative outlet and space for expression, the book provides a means for the poets to empower themselves and resist victimization by the supposed criminal justice system"--Amazon.
