Little research or curriculum design has been done to improve juvenile postsecondary correctional education and limit recidivism rates of students in the juvenile justice system. Critical Pedagogical Narratives of Long-Term Incarcerated Juveniles: Humanizing the Dehumanized provides an in-depth look at influences that affect their trajectory on the School to Prison Pipeline, and how their experiences interrelate with their educational experience. Gregory Barraza takes a critical look at the absence of one of the most important elements to juvenile justice education, which often gets overlooked: humanization of the dehumanized. So often, students on the school to prison pipeline and in juvenile justice education fall into the most marginalized sector of education. They are frequently overlooked regarding mental health services and academic services. This book shows that our justice-impacted juveniles have a voice and have needs that go overlooked. The students' voice gives insight into their life experience and how that experience led them to correctional education. Once we know their "voice," we can give them the necessary educational path that deters from recidivism and a "doing life one day at a time."
