Jail Is No Place for Children in Trouble

N.pl: National Probation and Parole Association, 1955. Near-fine.. An educational booklet reprinted from Collier's, educating the public on juvenile delinquency and incarceration: "Every year 100,000 boys and girls are held in police lockups for days, weeks, even months. Often their wrongdoing is slight-- but there's no other place to keep them. Here's the shocking story" (p. [3]). Penned in a narrative format, it uses a fictional story to relay real issues that real children face, such as living with abuse or poverty. It illustrates how incarceration sometimes exacerbates the problems youth face, instead of remediating them as counseling or proper social welfare programs can. Concludes with further reading and information about the National Probation and Parole Association (NPPA). Single vol. (9" by 4"), pp. 24, illus., in original printed wrps. Includes two-page photo illus. in center of children behind bars.
