(Faitau) [Epub ] Caught Up: Girls, Surveillance, and Wraparound
Incarceration
By Jerry Flores
From home, to school, to juvenile detention center, and back again. Follow the lives
of fifty Latina girls living forty miles outside of Los Angeles, California, as they are
inadvertently caught up in the school-to-prison pipeline. Their experiences in the
connected programs between ?El Valle? Juvenile Detention Center and ?Legacy?
Community School reveal the accelerated fusion of California schools and institutions
of confinement. The girls participate in well-intentioned wraparound services
designed to provide them with support at home, at school, and in the detention
center. But these services may more closely resemble the phenomenon
of?wraparound incarceration, in which students, despite leaving the actual detention
center, cannot escape the surveillance of formal detention, and are thereby slowly
pushed away from traditional schooling and a productive life course.?
