BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE: THE END OF JUVENILE PRISON

Book ID/图书代码： 00500014B73959

English Summary/英文概要： One in three American children will be arrested by the time they are 23, and many will spend time locked inside horrific detention centres that defy everything we know about how to rehabilitate young offenders. In a clear-eyed indictment of the juvenile justice system run amok, Nell Bernstein shows that there is no right way to lock up a child. The act of isolation denies children the thing that is most essential to their growth and rehabilitation: positive relationships with caring adults. Includes first-person accounts of detention experiences from former youth offenders.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 美国三分之一的孩子在23岁的时候会被逮捕一次，其中许多人将在无视我们所知的如何恢复年轻罪犯的一切的可怕的拘留中心关一段时间。在这个清晰的对横行的少年司法制度控诉中，内尔•伯恩斯坦表明，没有什么正确的方法来锁住一个孩子。隔离的行为会阻碍孩子成长和康复的最重要的东西：与关心他们的成人的积极关系。包括来自前青年罪犯拘留以第一人称自叙的在拘留中心的经历。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：“内尔•伯恩斯坦所写的《烧掉房子》揭示了一个令人震惊的事实：成人将孩子关在美国青少年监狱中是犯法的。如果我们想改变美国愚蠢的成瘾监禁，最好的开端是如何改变我们针对孩子的的司法系统。这本书展示了如何去做。”——派珀•克尔曼，《橘子是新的黑色》的作者

“引人入胜的，令人不安的，有时令人心碎的，《烧掉房子》提供了一个希望的种子：在未来，所有的孩子都将得到重视和自由。这本书说出了关在笼子里的孩子的声音，它应该激起更多的活动来遏制美国独特的对少年监禁的过度依赖。”—琼斯，《重建梦想》的作者

“被关在噩梦般的地方的孩子们的声音萦绕心头，他们的生活被虐待和暴力定义，内尔•伯恩斯坦揭示了少年法庭辜负了“康复”的承诺。内尔•伯恩斯坦用同情的耳朵，尖锐和充满激情的散文，以及对令人信服的证据的熟练使用，是成千上万个晚上将睡在空荡牢房的坚硬床铺上，并相信世界上没有他们容身之地的孩子们的理想信使。”——沃尔德曼，《在这个地方》和《不是它的》的编辑

“任何有影响将孩子送进监狱“内部”的“外部”的人都必须读一读这本书。这个对我们送进铁丝网里面的孩子的伤心，痛苦和苦难的揭示，是为了揭示所有虚假的公共安全意识，应该激起我们所有人拿起火把“烧掉房子”。——法官史提芬•C•特斯克，首席法官，克莱顿县的少年法院，《现在的少年司法改革》的作者

“Burning Down the House by Nell Bernstein reveals a shocking truth: what adults do to children behind the walls of America’s juvenile prisons is criminal. If we want to change the United States’ senseless addiction to incarceration, the best possible place to start is transforming how our justice system treats our children. This book shows just how that can be done.” — Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black

“Engrossing, disturbing, at times heartbreaking, Burning Down the House offers a seed of hope: a future where all children are valued and free. Told in the voices of children kept in cages, this book should fuel the growing movement to curb America’s uniquely excessive reliance on juvenile incarceration.” — Van Jones, author of Rebuild the Dream

“In the haunting voices of children shut away in nightmarish facilities, their lives defined by abuse and brutality, Nell Bernstein brings to light the betrayal of the juvenile court’s promise of ‘rehabilitation.’ With her empathetic ear, sharp, impassioned prose, and deft use of compelling evidence, Nell Bernstein is the ideal messenger for the many thousands of children who will go to sleep tonight on a concrete bunk in an empty cell, convinced that there is no place for them in the world.” — Ayelet Waldman, editor of Inside This Place, Not of It

“A riveting must-read for anyone on the ‘outside’ with influence to send kids to the ‘inside’ of juvenile prisons. This exposé of the anguish, pain, and suffering of kids we place inside the razor wires, all for a false sense of public safety, should provoke in all of us to carry the torch to ‘Burn Down the House.’” — Judge Steven C. Teske, chief judge, Clayton County Juvenile Court, and author of Reform Juvenile Justice Now
